Symbol; A curious ring set with a large heart of white onyx. Denotes one of occult learning and of an extremely sensitive and sympathetic nature who will do much for the pleasure and help of the people.

He may not be free from his own worries, but the power to cast away such poison is his, and he will find that the rays of good he throws out for others will react with added force on himself. It is a symbol of Compassion.
