Gemstone Lore

Mystery and History of Gems

Since the dawn of time human beings have been attracted to stones and have collected them, placed them in their homes, and worn them to protect and heal themselves, and to enhance their beauty.

Over the years, people have thought they noticed some consistent characteristics in their gemstones, for instance, stones such as Garnet, Coral and Carnelian appear to make the people who wear them more energetic and dynamic, more beautiful and even more socially acceptable.

Other stones and materials, like Turquoise, Amber and the Banded Agates are soothing when you are fatigued, stressed out or overworked.

When someone needs to make an important decision, the presence of Lapis, Aventurine or Blue Lace Agate can inspire clarity and a direction in harmony with creation.
