I remember this from the 70's, the supposed ability to photograph the invisible soul or aura that surrounds all living (and many dead or inanimate) things. So - imagine my excitement when I turned this up in a thrift shop - bargain priced at a mere $125.
Of course, it doesn't do that at all, although there's enough of a market I'm sure that you could do pretty well with it.
That said, I'm pretty sure it would be easy enough to write a computer program that would digitally create an aura effect and spare you the handling of film and the other inconveniences. Still, a great prop for any ghostbusters or psychic researchers...

I'd actually been looking for these for a while, and today, well, today was the day:
All appropriately labelled with frequency and correlating Chakra...(Throat, Third Eye, Solar Plexus, etc.)
Not a "deal", but less than I'd pay on TEMU, and, irregardless, I'm building credit it the local community...soon to be a Shaman.
Actually, already a Shaman, just acquiring the props...

Thursday evening, the boy having repossessed his car, I take the bus out the Balfour and spend an hour or so scouring the beach.
Not unproductive, although it's getting rather picked.
Left, a well knapped scraper, right-centre (brown) a broken arrowhead, top right a peculiarly broken piece of quartzite, which may or may not have been a scraper or tool, and under the loonie a tiny quartz point (close up it shows sign of being worked, although it just may be the grain of the quartz).
****
Adding these to the box of arrowheads I've already collected - some, museum quality, others, well, a little ruder, but it's becoming quite the collection.
The next trip, probably after the fall rains, late October when the ferry's had a chance to churn up some new rocks.

The price is a best-guess as it hasn't gone up for sale, but the discovery of the most youthful portrait of the Bard yet on record is pretty sure to set some new auction records.

Vancouver based Lucara again, from their Botswana holding, the second largest diamond ever found, weighing in at a whopping 2, 492 Carats, or roughly a pound.
