  • Biotite

  • What is Biotite?

  • It is a mineral with a monoclinic crystal system (one of the crystal systems, crystal with three pairs of vectors of unequal length where two pairs of vectors are perpendicular, while the third pair makes an angle other than 90°) and forms tubular or squamiform displaying a hexagonal or rhom-bohedron shape. It appears black, brown, or greenish black and its split-face has a pearly or sometimes metallic luster.
  • Effects of Biotite

    • Biotite was ranked as the best among 10,000 medicinal ingredients in the medicine scriptures 『Hyangyakjipseongbang』 written during the King Sejong Era. Biotite rough stones contain germanium which was believed to be a mystical mineral and was accessible only to the royal families or noblemen.
    • Biotite has far greater infrared emissivity (94%), 3 times higher than those of red clay and elvan. It is a miracle stone that removes the carcinogenic substances emitted from Chinese natural jade and cement when they are heated. Thus, biotite has been regarded as a medicine stone even before.
    • Human experiments showed that it stimulates metabolism and it is effective not only in blood circulation, chronic bronchitis, neurotic gastritis, ulcerative colitis, anemia, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, arthritis, lower back pain and other geriatric diseases, but also in a wide variety of modern diseases. It also stabilizes the five viscera and is good for the eyes and skin. Thus, biotite is drawing attention as a mystical stone.
  • Kiyoseki stone

  • What is Kiyoseki stone?

  • Kiyoseki stones are found in mines and formed by high-temperature hydrothermal alteration such as the diastrophism 65 million years ago. It is a special mineral packed with the energy of nature
  • Effects of Kiyoseki stone

    • It makes a good water(reduced water) in good health.
    • Removes harmful waves if placed next to electronic devices.
    • Removes bad odors and maintains freshness if placed in a refrigerator.
    • Used as a deodorizing agent when placed in the closet to keep your clothes fresh-smelling.
    • Anion generating ceramic helps with air purification for better and cleaner air.
    • If anion generating ceramic is placed in vases with flowers, the flowers won’t wither easily.
    • If the Kiyoseki stone is rubbed on the skin, it enhances the immune system through better blood circulation, facilitates skin rejuvenation and reduces pain such as shoulder pain and neuralgia.
  • Tourmaline

  • What is Tourmaline?

  • The name, tourmaline comes from the Singhalese word “tormali” which means ‘mixed gemstone’ . As befitting the meaning of the name, it comes in a wide variety of colors. Tourmaline is native to Brazil and it is known as a birthstone for October as with opal in America.
  • Functions of tourmaline

    • It enlarges capillary vessels to stimulate blood circulation, metabolism, bowel movements, and is effective in thermotherapy, fatigue recovery, neuralgia, freckles, and leucorrhea.
    • It has antioxidant functions, and there has been a study report that because anions generated by flowing 0.06mA of electric current and increased far infrared rays break down harmful reactive oxygen and alkalize the body, they are good for headaches and dieting.
    • If tourmaline is used in water, the water becomes weak alkaline.
    • It removes the chlorine smell in tap water and makes water rich in minerals.
    • It stimulates body metabolism.
    • It enhances cell functions, immune system, blood purification, and stabilizes the autonomic nervous system
    • It hydrates and moisturizes.
  • Geumgangyakdol

  • What is Geumgangyakdol?

  • Geumgangyakdol is a medicinal stone found in the central region of North Korea. It contains about 60 different minerals that are good for health and longevity. It is a mystical stone with deodorizing effects, adheres to heavy metals and has 96% far infrared ray radiation.
  • Effects of Geumgangyakdol

    • The medicinal stone is good for gastrointestinal problems and colitis if water is boiled with the stone in it.
    • It is effective in treating hepatitis, cholecystitis, nephritis, pancreatitis, and cystitis.
    • It has mystical effects in arteriosclerosis, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and aging because it removes cholesterols, glycolipids, and lipids.
    • It prevents pyorrhea and pellagra that are caused by vitamin and mineral deficiency.
    • When the stone is placed in the water you will use for bathing and it will soften and keep the skin fresh.
    • It is effective in treating eczema, housewife’s eczema, heat rash, and pruritus if you wash the affected area with the water that was boiled with the stone in it.
    • It is good for treating boil and urticaria.
    • It is good for preventing cancer.
  • Cheonkwangsuk

  • What is Cheonkwangsuk?

  • Cheonkwangsuk means rare element. The rare earth elements are a set of lanthanides, scandium, and yttrium and most of them have a grey luster.
  • Properties of Cheonkwangsuk

    • Far infrared ray radiation function
      • -
      • Far infrared rays have the wavelength most beneficial to the human body (8~11µm) among infrared rays. It penetrates into the deep layer of the skin (7~8cm depth) and rejuvenates the cells to increase the body temperature. As the body temperature rises, the capillary vessels are enlarged and blood circulation, metabolism, and tissue regeneration are enhanced. Thus, far infrared rays are very effective in promoting growth.
    • Generation of anions in large quantity
      • -
      • Anions are found in forests, waterfalls, fountains of meadow parks, and beaches, and when people come in contact with these they feel fresh and relaxed.
      • -
      • Because anions give their electrons to free oxygen radicals, they prevent overproduction of fatal free oxygen radicals and oxidation of cells (oxygen reduction).
  • Volcanic rock

  • Volcanic rock?

  • When a volcano erupts, gas, lava, ejecta, and volcanic ash come out. Most of the gas consists of vapor; volcanic ash produces tuff, whereas ejecta produces agglomerate rock. When lava cools and hardens, it becomes volcanic rock, such as basalt, andesite, rhyolite, and so on.
  • Features of volcanic rock

  • ◆ Basalt

  • Basalt is a microcrystalline igneous rock that is dark gray or black, and usually, it is produced as extrusive rocks. However, in some cases, it is also produced as intrusive rocks of dike. It is a rock produced by 1,200–1,400°C erupted magma from more than 100 km underground (granite, 800°C, 30 km underground), and it contains various kinds of minerals in abundance.
    • Use of basalt
      • -
      • Sauna (bathrooms): Dry sauna, fomentation, ondol, water purifier, bathroom
        Craftwork: Flowerpot, grill, stone coffin and tombstone, millstone, mortar, statue of the Virgin Mary, etc.
        Agricultural materials: Fertilizer, pesticide, fodder, food conservation, etc.
    • Functions of basalt
      • -
      • Used in the aircraft industry, electronic engineering, petrochemistry, automobile industry, construction industry, machine manufacturing industry, etc.
