Hi everyone. I'm looking for a particular Tarot deck that I can't remember the name of! It had the suit of "stones" instead of pentacles and I remember the Ace of Stones had a single diamond-shaped boulder floating in the sky above rolling hills. I don't remember much else, I'm afraid! Does anyone know what the name of this deck might be? Even if you're not sure, I'd appreciate guesses! Thanks so much, Raquel

You got me curious. The Haindl deck has a Stones suit. Here's a scan of the Ace but, unfortunately, it doesn't look diamond-shaped. It looks more like a golf ball. :) If there's another deck with that Ace card, I'm sure someone on the boards will have the answer. http://www.facade.com/tarot/description/?Deck=haindl&Card=37 Other tarot decks with Stones suits include: Shining Tribe: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/shining-tribe/index.shtml Medicine Woman: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/medicinewoman/index.shtml Shapeshifter: http://www.aeclectic.net/tarot/cards/shapeshifter/index.shtml P.S. Welcome to the message boards!

I think you might be thinking of the Quest Tarot, but I could be very wrong here. All I know is the Ace of Stones is floating over mountains, I remembered that much. Here's a picture...not sure if this was the one you were thinking of. http://www.learntarot.com/qtpa.gif

the I Am One has an orange stone- with the suits being stones- and pears curved blade & two headed serpant sorry- no hills

Thanks so much, Raquel Hi Raquel, I'm quite certain the deck you are searching for is The Quest Tarot by Joseph Ernest Martin. The stone is diamond shaped and it is floating in the sky above rolling hills. I can think of no other deck that fits your description quite as well. I have this deck and it is fantastic! :-) Joy to you, Maralee

Hi Raquel! I agree with Dead Star and Lady Eclipse....it sounds like the Quest to me. Here is a link so you can check it for yourself: http://www.gentlesleeper.com/site_fldr/cards/cards_minor_swords.html Please let us know if this is the deck you had in mind....or if we should keep searching! Thanks and welcome to Aeclectic! :D Luna
