| | Seer stone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Note that the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is officially titled "Prophet, Seer, and Revelator". | | | Many of Joseph's revelations, including ones received through the use of seer stones, have been collected and published in the Doctrine and Covenants, which is considered by members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as scripture, along with the Bible, the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price. | | | In historic Mormonism, a seer stone is a stone or crystal used by a prophet for receiving revelation from God. |

| | Seer stone stolen from first presidency vault |
| | It is at best an oral tradition within the church that a seer stone was or is owned by the church. | | | They say that they hold the stone, and meditate upon it, and that before long (1/2 hour) they begin to see flashes of light, and that with experience, they see people, and etc, and that it becomes easier with practice. | | | I have no reason to believe from church history that the LDS church has ever had Urim and Thummim since Joseph Smith gave them back to the Angel Moroni. |

| | By Common Consent » Seer stone lessons |
| | The idea the Joseph used an Urim and Thummim and seer stones in his translation of the Book of Mormon is taught to us from Primary on. | | | While the Urim and Thummim are considered to be in the possession of the angel (along with the plates, sword and director), the Church has still in it’s possession one, but perhaps up to three different seer stones in their vault (1). | | | I don’t view any of seer stones, UandT, Liahona, annointing oil, garments, divining rods, etc. as having any intrinsic “magic” or other spiritual or phyical capabilities. |

| | The Translation and Publication of the Book of Mormon - FARMS Papers |
| | And the two stones were placed, literally, between the two rims--that is, within the rims, so as to provide the means whereby the individual, who was the seer, could look and see. | | | Early on in the Church, many of the earliest members of the Church began to believe that it was only by and through the use of the seer stone that it was possible to receive revelation. | | | In 1880 Zebedee Coltrin says this: "Joseph said, concerning the Urim and Thummin or Nephite interpreters and the seer stone, that he no longer had need of it and he had given it to the angel Moroni." That is interesting because here we are talking, of course, about the interpreters and not the seer stone. |

| | Finally the Prophet persuaded Oliver Cowdery that these things were wrong, and later the whole membership renounced the revelation given through this stone, but this did not come until the Lord had given to the Church the revelation known as section twenty-eight. | | | Joseph looked into the hat in which he placed the stone, and received a revelation that some of the brethren should go to Toronto, Canada, and that they would sell the copy-right of the Book of Mormon. | | | Well, we were all in great trouble; and we asked Joseph how it was that he had received a revelation from the Lord and the brethren had utterly failed in their undertaking. |

| | Mormonism 201: Chapter 8 Book of Mormon |
| | Likewise, in the official History of the Church, no mention is made of a seer stone being used to translate the Book of Mormon. | | | 9 Indeed, in volume 1, which comprises the history of the Mormon Church from its inception until May of 1834, the only mention of a seer stone is to one which belonged to Hiram Page, and his use of that stone and the "revelations" he received from it are heartily condemned there. | | | McKeever and Johnson showed how Joseph Smith used a seer stone to translate the Book of Mormon instead of using the "Urim and Thummim," as the LDS Church asserts publicly. |

| | quotes regarding Joseph Smith's seerstone from The Refiner's Fire |
| | In one story, Smith himself described his discovery of his first, white stone in mystical, even Masonic, terms. | | | Sometime after 1825, while in the Susquehanna Valley, he was given a green stone by one Jack Belcher, a diviner and salt digger. | | | He apparently found the first of these, described as "a whitish opaque stone," in September 1819, by borrowing Sally Chase's green glass; he found his favorite stone, a brown one, while he and his brothers were digging a well for the Chases in 1822. |
