He aha te Bloodstone?
Kohatu toto, e mōhiotia ana i ngā wā o mua ko Heliotrope, e tū ana ko tētahi o ngā momo tino pōhēhē me te whai kōrero i roto i te whānau nui o te chalcedony o te quartz. Ka mōhiotia tonutia e tōna kākāriki-ngahere hōhonu, kākāriki pūrangiaho kore—e kōripoitia ana ki ngā whakaurunga rino nui e rite ana ki ngā pata toto hou—kei te pōkai nei he kaha kitea e te tangata mō ngā mano tau. Kāore i rite ki te kanapa poto o ngā kohatu mārama, ka puta te ahuareka o te toto-kohatu i te rerekētanga o te whenua, he āhuatanga i whiria hōhonu ki te papanga o ngā pūrākau, kōrero tuku iho, me te whakapono wairua o te tangata puta noa i ngā iwi kanorau. Mai i te tirohanga o te kohatu, ehara te toto-kohatu i te mea whakamīharo noa iho; he tohu ia i ngā tukanga matatini o te whenua, e uaina ana mō tōna pūmau me ōna tauira tae ahurei. Ka noho ia kohatu hei whakairoiro māori motuhake, e kore e rua ngā wāhanga e ōrite ana, he āhuatanga e noho tonu ana hei poutokomanawa o tōna ahuareka ki ngā kaikohi me ngā kaingākau ki te whakairo. I tua atu i tōna hanganga tinana, ka mahi te toto-kohatu hei taonga ahurea hōhonu, hei piriti pūmau i waenga i te ao tawhito—i reira e hiahiatia ana e ngā hōia hei tohu tiaki o te kaha—me te wā hou, e noho tonu ana hei kohatu whānau whai mana mō te marama o Poutū-te-rangi, e whakakotahi ana i te āputa i waenga i te hanganga whenua me te pohewa o te tangata.
Ko te Whakapapa me te Kōrero o te Bloodstone
Ko te hanganga o te kōwhatu toto he tino āhuatanga ā-whenua, ka puta i roto i ngā uaua wera mātao e uru ai ngā wai kirika ki roto i ngā toka kāinga maiengi. I te whakamātaotanga o ēnei wai, ka whakahekea hei kirikara kuwareti moroiti, e hanga ana i te hanganga mātotoru, pōuri o te kāreti. Ko ngā kōpura whero o te kōwhatu he hua nō te whakawhāiti i te wāhi: i te urunga o ngā wai kohuke rino ki roto i te pūtake kākāriki kua whakaurua ki te kororī, ka puta he tauhohenga matū hei hanga i ngā whakaurunga hematite—ko te tino wairua e whakawhiwhia ai te kōwhatu ki tōna ingoa whakaohooho.
Ko te takenga mai o te whenua nei e tino hono ana ki te whāriki taonga o ngā kōrero tuku iho, nā te āhua whakamīharo o te kōhatu i whakamāoritia ai i roto i ngā tirohanga matakite maha. I ngā wā o mua, i mōhiotia te kōhatu ko Heliotrope, he ingoa i ahu mai i ngā kupu Kariki mō te “rā” me te “huri.” E ai ki ngā tuhinga i Ko te Pliny te Kaumatua Hītori Taiao (Pukapuka XXXVII), i whakaaro te hunga tawhito he mana makutu te kohatu ki te huri i nga hihi o te ra ki te whero ina rukuhia ki te wai. Na Pliny tonu i tuhi te korero e kii ana i whakamahia e nga tohunga makutu te kohatu hei whakawhiwhi i te kore kitea ki te kaimau—he whakapono i mau tonu ki te Waenganui, ka puta Ko Giovanni Boccaccio Whakarāpopototanga (Te Rā Tuawaru, Te Kōrero Tuatoru). Puta noa i te Emepaea o Roma, i mau haurangi te hēliotrope e ngā hōia hei toa kaha mō te oranga me te whakamarumaru, i te tino whakapono ka taea e ia te whakamutu i te rere o te toto mai i ngā patunga o te pakanga. I te wā o te Waenganui, ka huri te tohu o te kōhatu ki te whakauru i ngā whakaahua Karaitiana; ka mōhiotia whānuitia ko te “Kōhatu o te Kaiwhakamate.” Ka puta ake he kōrero tawhito e kī ana i hua tuatahi te kōhatu i te maturuturunga o ngā pata toto o te Karaiti ki runga i tētahi wāhanga o te kōhatu jasper kākāriki pōuri i raro i te Rīpeka, e whakapokapoka ana i te whenua mō ake tonu atu. Nā tēnei hononga ki te Rīpekatanga, ka whakairohia te kōhatu hei intaglio e whakaatu ana i ngā tirohanga tapu, e whakapūmau ana i tōna tūranga hei tāpā whakaute mō te kaha wairua me te whakaora atua. Ahakoa e whakaarotia ana hei taputapu mākutu tawhito, hei toenga o te patunga tapu rānei, ko te kōhatu toto tonu te hononga hōhonu i waenga i te hanganga matawhenua me te whakaaro o te tangata.
Ngā Momo me ngā Rerekētanga Tae o te Bloodstone
Ahakoa ko te tohu matua o te bloodstone pono—he heliotrope ranei—ko tōna kākāriki hōhonu, pōuri me te kore mārama e kīia ana e ngā tohu hematite whero motuhake, he maha ngā wā ka whakarōpūhia e te mākete ētahi momo chalcedony e pātata ana ki raro i te tāwharau kotahi. He mea nui te mōhio ki ēnei rerekētanga mō ngā kaikohi me ngā kaingākau whakapaipai, nā te mea ko te kupu "bloodstone" i ētahi wā ka whakamahia whānuitia ki ngā momo jasper me chalcedony e kōpurepure ana, e tauira ana rānei.
Heliotrope
Ko te Heliotrope te ingoa tuku iho me te ingoa pūtaiao mō te kōwhatu toto. I whakamahia i ngā tuhinga tawhito me ngā whakaahuatanga kōwhatu o mua, e tohu ana tēnei kupu ki te chalcedony kākāriki pōuri e tohua ana ki ngā whakaurunga hematite whero. I roto i te mātai kōwhatu hou me te hokohoko whakapaipai, e whakaarotia ana he ōrite te heliotrope me te kōwhatu toto, e whakaahua ana i te kōwhatu kākāriki motuhake me ōna wāhi whero "rite toto".
Kohatu Toto
Ko te toto jasper he ingoa hokohoko e whakamahia ana i etahi wa mo nga kohatu e rite ana ki te toto toto engari e whakaatu ana i te ahua rite ki te jasper. Ko enei rawa ka whakaatu pea i nga papanga whero pouri, nga tae parauri, nga whariki pango ranei, kaua ki te papamuri matomato o te toto toto tawhito. He maha nga tauira kei roto he uaua kiripaka ma, hina ranei, e whakaatu ana i te ahua kōpurepure me te tino rereke. Ahakoa te ingoa, ka wehea te toto jasper i te nuinga o te wa mai i te toto toto pono.
Oriental Jasper
He kupu tauhokohoko tawhito tēnei, i whakamahia i mua ki te toto-kohatu, ki te toto-jasper rānei o te kounga teitei i ahu mai i ngā putunga whenua o Āhia. Ko te kūmua “Oriental” i whakamahia i roto i te ahumahi kohatu utu nui hei tohu i te rawa o te kounga tino pai, hei whakawhiwhi rānei i te āhua o te āhua rerekē me te mana nui ki te kohatu i ngā mākete o te Tai Hauāuru.
Kohatu Whakapaipai
He tēnei he kāwai hokohoko whānui e whakauru ana i te chalcedony, te jasper rānei e whakaatu ana i te whānuitanga o ngā tae i tua atu i te kākāriki me te whero o mua. Kohatu Whakapaipai ka taea e koe te whakauru i ngā ātārangi o te kōwhai, te waiporoporo, te karaka, te kirīmi rānei i roto i ngā tauira kōpīpīti, āwhiowhio rānei. Ahakoa e pā ana ēnei tauira ki te toto-kohatu i runga i te āhuatanga whenua, kāore i a rātou ngā pata hematite whero e rite ana ki te toto e tautuhi ana i te kōhatu whānau tuatahi.
Plasma
I roto i ngā kupu whakapapa kōhatu, ko te plasma he momo chalcedony kanapa, kākāriki-riki. Ki te whai tēnei rawa kākāriki i ngā wāhi hematite whero waitohu, ka whakarōpūtia hei toto kōhatu. Heoi, ki te kore ngā whakaurunga whero, ka kīia noa te kōhatu he plasma.
Kei te whakamāori ahau i te reo Ingarihi ki te reo Māori. Tēnā, homai te kōrero hei whakamāori.
He rite ki te plasma, ko te prase he kōwhatu chalcedony kākāriki-pūhā, he pūahoaho. Ahakoa ka kitea ētahi wā he wāhi whero, ā, ka whakarōpūtia ki te toto-kōhatu, i te nuinga o te wā ka mōhiotia mā te tae kākāriki māmā, mākūkū hoki, inā whakaritea ki te kākāriki hōhonu “imperial” e manakohia ana i ngā tauira toto-kōhatu kounga teitei.
He pai te Bloodstone hei kōhatu whakapaipai?
Ko te Bloodstone he kōwhiringa tino pai mō ngā whakapaipai, e taurite pai ana i te ātaahua mārō me te pūmau o te tinana. Nō te whānau quartz, e 6.5 ki te 7 tōna mārō Mohs, nō reira e tino ātete ana ki te mātoru mō ngā whakapaipai o ia rā pērā i ngā mōwhiti, poroporo, me ngā taunga. Ko tōna kaha nui ko tōna pūmau; nā te mea kāore he wehenga—te āhua o te whati i ngā papa o roto—he nui ake tōna ātete ki te whati me te pakaru i te nuinga o ngā kōhatu utu nui. Ahakoa ka taea te whakapai koki, he maha ngā wā ka hangaia hei cabochon, hei whakairo rānei, e whakaatu pai ana i te kākano hōhonu o te ngahere me ngā tohu hematite whero e rite ana ki te toto.
Ko te ātaahua o te whatu toto e ahu mai ana i tōna kāhui tae tino rerekee, e whakapūmau ana kia kore rawa e rite ngā wāhanga e rua, e hoatu ana ki ia taonga whakapaipai he āhua motuhake, he āhua māori. Ahakoa e whakanohoia ana ki te hiriwa kanapa rawa, ki ngā konganuku waikura rānei, ko ōna tae whenua, tae whakamīharo, kua waiho hei tino pai mō ngā mowhiti hiri tawhito me ngā taonga whakapaipai hou. Nā te mea he rawa pūrangiaho e iti nei te tiaki, he kōwhiringa pono, he kōwhiringa ātaahua hoki mō te hunga e aro nui ana ki te whatu e whai tikanga ana i te hītori, e kaha ana hoki ki te tu atu i ngā taumahatanga o te ao kori.
Ko te tohu me te hiranga ahurea o te Bloodstone
Kua roa e hono ana te Bloodstone ki te kaha, te maia, me te oranga, nā te āhua motuhake o te kohatu. Ko te kāriki pōuri o te kohatu, he mea tohu ki ngā whakaurunga hematite whero, e rite ana ki ngā pata toto, nā reira i whakaaweawe ai i ngā iwi tawhito kia hono te kohatu ki te mana ora me te whakamarumaru. I Kariki me Roma tawhito, he maha ngā wā i mau ai te bloodstone hei amulet whakamarumaru, inā koa e ngā hōia i whakapono ka whakapiki i te maia me te whakarato i te whakamarumaru tinana i te pakanga. I whakaponohia hoki e te kohatu i ngā wā o mua hei āwhina i te whakakaha i te tinana me te whakatairanga i te manawanui, e whai wāhi ana ki tōna rongonui hei tohu o te kaha me te oranga.
I roto ki te Waenganui o ngā Tau, ka kaha te whai wairua o te toto ki Ūropi. E ai ki ngā tikanga Karaitiana, ko ngā wāhi whero o te kōhatu e whakapono ana he toto nō te Karaiti, nā reira i whakamahia ai te toto ki ngā whakairo whakapono, ki ngā hīra, ki ngā taonga karakia. Nā tēnei hononga, ka noho te kōhatu hei tohu mō te whakapono, te patunga tapu, me te kaha wairua. I ēnei rā, ahakoa ko ēnei whakapono he wāhanga nō ngā tikanga o mua me te ahurea, kaua ko te pūtaiao, kei te mau tonu te toto hei tohu mō te whakatau, te whakapūmau, me te kaha o roto, e whakaatu ana i te mīharo tonu o te tangata ki te ātaahua o te taiao me te tohu o ngā kōhatu.
