Default data on Shakti stones

I made an emi probe out of a ferrite AM antenna rod, which I carefully mated
to a paintbrush handle with an encapsulation of epoxy. A connection was made
to the original Litz winding.
I hooked it up to a Tektronix 7904 oscilloscope with a 7A22 preamp, which
has sensitivity to 10 microvolts/centimeter.
The probe is directionally sensitive to fluourescent lights several feet
away, with the display exhibiting a plethora of HF hash superimposed on
60Hz.

If the Shakti stone does have a physical effect, as claimed, this probe
should be able to exhibit it.
If anyone would like to loan me a Shakti stone, I would perform this test:
with a fluorescent light several feet away, examine the space around the
Stone to determine if there is any reduction in field strength.

I may also be able to route the output of the 7A22 to a Lecroy 9361,
digitize it, and perform spectral analysis.

Is anybody interested in lending me a Stone for this purpose, or is the
general preference to leave this as the Kidney Stone of audio?

Witnesses to the examination are welcome.
