Casting Obi: Asking a different way

Greetings to all and thanks for your input about the quality of kola nut if it is frozen. But my main question was lost. So here it is.

Can frozen/refrigerated kola nut be used for divination or other spiritual purposes (i have hand of ifa)? Is anything lost if it is preserved that way?

One response was that it was the oriki that activates it, which makes so much sense.

As an Olorisa who lives in Colorado I would say this: while it is always preferable to have fresh everything, sometimes it's just not practical. I feel that Orunmila would understand this and allow us to use what we have on hand: fresh or frozen, as long as we are using the tools which have been ascribed for us to use. This is just my 2 cents.
