(I'm not entirely certain if this is the right place for this, but I've looked through all the other sections, and it seemed to fit here best. Sorry if it's mis-placed.)

I was given a necklace with various stones on it - jade, quartz et cetera. And I know what most of them are - except for one. Now, I've looked all over the place, and thus far I haven't been able to find out what this thing is. The person that gave it to me doesn't know what it is either.
Here's a link to a scan of it, and close-ups of the stones in question:

Does anyone here know what it's called? I seriously have no idea.

Glancing over this, my first thought was 'What the heck?'

Do all of these actually -exist-, or what?

And upon looking over it a second time, I saw a lot of things that are simply elements of main abilities; for example, a -lot- of those listed are just seprate aspects of terrakinesis.

So, what's up with this, man?

In the past, I have been, shall we say, called a nut by people not only older than myself, but also by people my own age.

This, however, is understandable given the large ammount of psychics who appear to look at this sort of thing from a mystical, fantasy-novel-esque viewpoint, rather than a scientific one. The mystical viewpoint reinforces the views many non-psychics have, and therefore causes them to think that all psychics are nutso. It's rather unfortunate.

Electrokinesis? ... I've never heard of that.

However, I -have- heard of something called Technesis, which is pretty much the ability to control electrical appliances (and computers, et cetera). Is this what you are referring to?
