in Pepto-Bismol, commonly used today to treat stomach disorders.
In the early twentieth century, infant mortality was very high due to an illness called “cholera infantum.” A doctor from New York developed a formula he called Mixture Cholera Infantum made from Bismuth, zinc, and wintergreen that drastically improved the symptoms, and infant deaths began to decline. The mixture was colored pink, and after becoming mass-produced, was renamed Pepto-Bismol in 1919.
Native bismuth crystals are rare. It can be found more often as a nugget with other minerals included in the specimen. They can occasionally be found in Germany and Bolivia. Other minerals with Bismuth in them include: Bismuthinite, Pucherite, Walpurgite, and Emplectite.
Energetically, bismuth is a grounding element that soothes the nervous system and provides both physical and psychic protection. When the mineral specimen is placed on the stomach, it can provide the same relief to the digestion as Pepto-Bismol while healing ulcers and repairing tissue damage from stomach stress at a cellular level.
One of my clients suffered from a pre-ulcer condition caused by stress. The nervousness led to an acidic buildup, and he was warned to relax or suffer the consequences. Bismuth and its related minerals are good antidotes to such conditions if they can be located. The mineral can actually mend and heal the tears and bring the body back into a state of complete perfection when combined with meditating and allowing the body to rest.

Brass Copper and Zinc Alloy
History
Brass is an alloy, or mixture, of Copper and Zinc that was discovered after the Bronze Age, probably because Zinc is not easy to refine.
Brass is rarely found naturally except in Siberia, Russia, and because of that, it may one day be classified as a mineral—as long as it can be found in some quantity and is different from other copper and zinc mixtures.
Brass links us with our past. It can greatly enhance the recall of many past lives and the frequency can assist you with healing those lives or dealing with unfinished business.
Cayce Uses
Cayce primarily referenced brass as it related to the advancements of several early civilizations including Atlantis and Egypt and during biblical times. He also made several mentions of “sounding brass,” which could be referring to Corinthians in the Bible.

With these developments came then the gradual injections of the use of elements from without for protection, as implements with which to protect themselves, which began with the use of fitting stone, iron, brass, copper, and those elements known in the present, as instruments of warfare, or of building, or of preservation of the various emoluments of individuals.

Biblical References
Brass is mentioned several times in the Bible; however, in the New International Version, it is replaced with the word copper. In the time of the King James translation, brass was a popular material; in biblical times, however, copper would most likely have been the metal used, because brass was not around then.
“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.” Corinthians I 13:1
“And he made the horns thereof on the four corners of it; the horns thereof were of the same: and he overlaid it with brass. And he made all the vessels of the alter, the pots, and the shovels, and the basins, and the fleshhooks, and the firepans: all the vessels thereof made he of brass.” Exodus 38:2-3
“And the pins of the tabernacle, and of the court round about, were of brass.” Exodus 38:20
Bronze Copper and Tin Alloy
History
The Bronze Age began around 3600 B.C. after someone accidentally discovered that if you mix copper with tin, a new stronger material emerges that makes sharper tools and weapons than pure copper alone. This was a huge leap forward in the development of mankind. The chronology of the Bronze Age varies in different parts of the world. In any culture, the discovery of bronze occurred after the discovery of copper and preceded the discovery of iron which would provide even further enhancements to mankind. It is a time categorized by the fact that tools and weapons were made of bronze and can give amazing clues as to the developmental timelines of various cultures around the world.
Prior to discoveries in the 1960s, the Bronze Age was thought to have begun in the Middle East until new findings in Ban Chiang, Thailand, showed bronze technology dating back to as early as 4500 B.C.
Spiritually, bronze will connect you with other past lives where you experienced those energies. You can lay bronze on the body to provide a high frequency metal that will strengthen the aura while clearing it of blockages that may be tough to get through to with other stones and elements. It acts as a spiritual coat of armor and will protect the entire energy field from drains and psychic attack.
Cayce Uses
Cayce’s referrals to bronze dealt with the decorative or ornamental uses of the metal.
