Finding the right piece of Merlinite

I haven't really spoken much about crystals on here yet so I thought it would be a good time to start writing about them. To start off I thought I'd write about Merlinite.
 Merlinite is commonly known as the Shaman Stone or The Magic Stone. Named after the wizzard Merlin you can begin to understand why. It is said to bring magic into your life. It is known to be a lucky charm and one of its attributes is that it will bring luck into your life. 

It is a powerful stone for sure and can be used to awaken psychic abilities and can even take you on a journey to your past lives. Which I really would not recommend trying without the assistance of someone who knows what they're doing. 
The appearance of Merlinite can be very varied, it is usually black and white but it can also appear blue and white or it may look much more yellow instead of white. Whatever the colour it will still have the same properties. 
Merlinite allows you to explore multidimensional planes of existence co-existing with the physical plane. It is best used during meditation to attempt this. If you struggle with meditation try holding a piece of merlinite while you sit quietly with your eyes closed and note any feelings or images you see. It is a strong protection stone which will dispel any negativity either aimed towards you from another or negative energy you subconsciously create yourself. Many crystals can help us physically and mentally and can be used in healing many physical ailments. Merlinite is a stone purely for the spirit. It's a good healing stone but will only heal spiritual ailments or ailments caused by the subconscious such as nightmares, unexplainable headaches etc. It is not a stone for beginners as if you are not used to it you will feel overwhelmed by its power.

Despite all of this Merlinite has never been a crystal I've particularly ever connected to. I bought a nice piece when it first became readilly available but never really connected to it. For my birthday this year I received five pieces and thought something must be telling me to start using it. Again all of the pieces were absolutely lovely. I only connected with one piece though. I wanted a piece I could wear so I bought a piece from my usual supplier: http://www.crystalage.com a really good website and all the crystals I've ordered from there have been fantastic and the prices are good too. When I received it the next day again I could not connect with it. 
 On Friday I was ordering myself some new crystals. I'm studying for a Diploma to become a qualified crystal healer so am trying to learn about a wide range of them rather then just the basic ones. I found myself again wandering onto the drilled Merlinite pieces. I saw a piece in one of the photos that I really really liked so decided I'd try one more and see if I could connect to it.

When my package arrived on Saturday I opened it and was absolutely amazed, the very piece from the picture above was sitting in my package. I couldn't believe it. I checked the picture again and it was without a doubt the very same piece 

I sent an email to the shop as I really couldn't believe it and I thanked them for another lovely order. When Jan their office manager replied to me she herself was surprised and told me the photos were taken some time ago and that the piece was obviously waiting for me. It must have been fate. I put it straight onto a piece of cord and have been wearing it ever since.
