Girl cries crystal tears Here's an oldie but a goodie Thanks, Nettie! This video from shows Hasnah Mohamed, a year-old Lebanese girl who "baffled medical experts by producing crystals from her eyes.
Hasnah's crystal tears were debunked by Joe Nickell in a Skeptical Inquirer article: Hasnah, who claims to produce up to seven crystals a day, showed a collection of the allegedly apported rocks. From their rhomboidal shape and other properties, I recognized them as the natural quartz crystals generally known as "Herkimer diamonds. Although such stones are indeed sharp - and I could see a dark red spot inside the girl's eyelid that probably represented a wound from one of them - I decided to duplicate the effect.
All that was necessary was to pull out the lower eyelid to form a pouch and drop in a small crystal so that it rested, only a bit uncomfortably, out of sight. A tug on the lower lid causes the stone to come into view and then pop out of the eye. This I demonstrated at an appropriate time for the television camera, allowing their reporter to actually do the extraction himself.
The effect was indistinguishable from the Lebanese "miracle. Comments No, it's true Truly the Lord works in mysterious ways, eh, Hairy? Just because a journalist can fake it doesn't mean it's not a real miracle. A stage magicial like Randi can perform tricks that look like those performed by Gellar, after all, and everyone knows that Uri has true paranormal gifts.
Likewise, Penn and Teller have 'revealed' how many effects can be achied on stage, and that doesn't change the fact that David Copperfield is a true wizard. You are SO right, outeast. I mean, explain THAT, skeptics! The argument Joe Nickell made as to how he can duplicate the effect is not very convincing at all.
Well, I guess people that stupid have to exist somewhere for hacks like Uri to exist. You must be retarded! I lack a sense of sarcasm! I think everybody posting on this thready is totally serious!

The time now is Girl cries crystal tears A 12 year-old Lebanese girl has baffled medical experts by producing crystals from her eyes.
Hasnah, who claims to produce up to seven crystals a day, showed a collection of the allegedly apported rocks.

Her father was invited to the wedding but was not told that his banished daughter was the bride. For the pre-wedding festivities rehearsal dinner? As the guests began to taste their food, one by one they all asked for salt.
Just then, a delicate hand with an exquisite pearl ring reached from behind him, holding a tiny silver bowl filled with shimmering crystals of salt. She of course accepted, and her own tears of joy became pearls.
So many pearls spilled from her eyes that they were rolling all over the floor, causing people who stepped on them and slip, and slide. Soon, everyone was rolling about the floor laughing, and the salt was brought out so everyone could enjoy their food. The next day the King gave his daughter away at a grand ceremony, where her sisters, in their prettiest dresses and favorite dancing shoes were maids of honor.
The matron of honor was, of course, the fairy from the woods did you think we'd forget to invite her? Of course, everyone lived happily ever after, and none more so than the princess whose eyes were continually brimming over with those pearl-tears of joy. Now wasn't that a more upbeat ending than that downer, Shakespeare wrote about King Lear? Ask New Question Sign In. What is the name of the fairy tale that has a princess who cries pearls for tears?

The media presented her to Hindu and Muslim "holy men" and even with a bishop, contemplating about stigmata. Nabil had shown the family the photographs of Maitreya's appearance in Nairobi, and it was in that form Maitreya appeared in their dreams. She appeared a healthy young girl, intelligent, confident, quite serious, some times a little stubborn and — yes — certainly with some inherent dramatic talent.
