Is it beautiful because it's multicolored or shiny or a certain bright color. Though I do not believe in this stuff, I've read some about colors of the chakras and seen a bit about the stones so I think, yes, a bit of an explanation may put it together and help explain why this certain rock? I don't know. I may be looking too much into it.

Maybe this is because I have some favorite words that I like to use and when I go through and look at the writing I've done in aluminate those I find that in most cases my crutch words are not necessary. So, you might try going through your paper and illiminating The word "though" and see if you can get the same meaning without it. I think that in many cases you will find you don't need this word. It's that famous don't start or end a sentence with a preposition rule that I was always taught somewhere. I don't remember if it was college your high school or elementary school. Anyway, that's my first impression for my writing standpoint. It is obvious you have done a lot of work on it. Is this a current paper or one that you wrote in the past?
