>>1156665Do you like my rock OP ? I don't know if it is interesting for you but I collected it on my first trip to a ibiza near Es Canar.
>The early Phoenicians believed Ibiza to be a magic isle blessed by the Gods, because the rich, red soil is non volcanic and the island forbids survival to any reptile, animal, insect or plant that can harm humans. To this day many people wear amulets and pendants containing the sacred soil to protect the wearer from harm. >Bes (/bɛs/; also spelled as Bisu) and its feminine counterpart Beset are an Ancient Egyptian deity worshipped as a protector of households, and in particular, of mothers and children and childbirth. Bes later came to be regarded as the defender of everything good and the enemy of all that is bad. While past studies identified Bes as a Middle Kingdom import from Nubia, more recent research indicates that he was present in Egypt since the start of Old Kingdom. Mentions of Bes can be traced to pre-dynastic Nile Valley cultures; however his cult did not become widespread until the beginning of the New Kingdom. Since he drove off evil, Bes also came to symbolize the good things in life – music, dance, and sexual pleasure. I love dance & DJ'ing so taking a little bit of blessed rock with me everywhere holds alot of sentiment for me. I wish you happiness in all your future geological formation discoveries. 2p for scale
