The talismanic influences of the stones associated with the planets and also with the signs of the zodiac is closely connected with the early ideas regarding the formation of precious stones. The author proceeds to describe an analogous relation between a man and any natural object or product to which his imagination draws him, and shows that, if the object be one that stands in a sympathetic relation with the star beneath which the man was born, the man, the star and the object will constitute a triplicity of great utility.
