These cross at one or more intervals (indicating an “aura”
of one or more rings) and then again finally cross over the

radius of the innermost ring, which I find to be related to
the intensity of the source. All the data to be presented
concern this measurement, and are given in inches rather

         Ormus is the name now given to a series of
extraordinary elementary substances, also known as
“White Gold”. They are thought to be mainly precious
metals, in which the electrons are re-arranged in such a
way as to render them non-metallic, chemically non-
reactive and possibly super-conductive4.

Quantum tunneling of ormus
The ormus used here was an alkaline precipitate from
Dead Sea salt, the bulk of which is probably magnesium
hydroxide. Significantly the original Dead Sea salt showed
no dowsable activity. The fact that ormus could be dowsed
in this way offered a possibility to test for its claimed
ability to “quantum tunnel” through a solid barrier. Two
