Strange Superstitions.

[Homicidalheathen]

So I am at this ladies house last night and she tells me its unlucky to wear two opals. Hello? Are not most cut from one and made into many anyway....? If it is two pieces of the same origional stone then how can it change any of the 'energies' or whatever that would cause this?

(Money, Wealth, Prosperity, Riches - Aventurine, bloodstone, calcite, cat's-eye, chrysoprase, coal, emerald, jade, mother-of-pearl, olivine, opal, pearl, peridot, ruby, salt, sapphire, spinel, staurolite, tiger's-eye, topaz, green tourmaline, brown-green-red zircon)

Then she tells me its unlucky also for someone to wear one if it is not their birthstone.

Which brings me to this:

Yup, its on the list.

Although, upon pondering it a bit more.... I think superstition by its nature is strange, no? That is what makes it a superstition and not a "accepted hallucination/fallacy" that we don't typically question.
