Gemstones

Gemstones are minerals, rocks, or organic matters that have been chosen for their beauty, durability, and rarity and then cut or faceted and polished to make jewelry or other human adornments. Even though most gemstones are hard, some are too soft or fragile to be used in jewelry, so they are often exhibited in museums and sought by collectors.

Gemstones have attracted humankind since ancient times, and have long been used for jewelry. The prime requisite for a gem is that it must be beautiful. The beauty may lie in colour or lack of colour; in the latter case, extreme limpidity and “fire” may provide the attraction. Iridescence, opalescence, asterism (the exhibition of a star-shaped figure in reflected light), chatoyance (the exhibition of a changeable lustre and a narrow, undulating band of white light), pattern, and lustre are other features that may make a gemstone beautiful. A gem must also be durable, if the stone is to retain the polish applied to it and withstand the wear and tear of constant handling.

In addition to their use as jewelry, gems were regarded by many civilizations as miraculous and endowed with mysterious powers. Different stones were endowed with different and sometimes overlapping attributes; the diamond, for instance, was thought to give its wearer strength in battle and to protect him against ghosts and magic. Vestiges of such beliefs persist in the modern practice of wearing a birthstone.

One of the most powerful and enriching ways to move through areas of challenge and open the way to the life you wish for is to use the healing powers of gemstones. Each person has a highly individual birth chart corresponding to conditions in the heavens at the exact moment of your birth. There is also a specific set of gemstones that is related to your birth chart. It’s worth getting to know these stones and how they can be made to work for you.

If you are someone who is sensitive to beauty and energy, you will respond to these qualities in gemstones both intuitively and physically. You can immediately feel the impact of a gemstone on your energy field. You will feel even a small gemstone brought into your energy field as strengthening or weakening. This is the basis of healing with gemstones and energy medicine. Simply by wearing a favorable gemstone on your body you are able to influence your energy field in ways that you choose intentionally.

The trick is to discover exactly which gemstones, among the dozens of beautiful choices, are the most powerful healers for you and which can best support you with your specific personal challenges and goals.

Gemstones have been used for ages to lessen the effects of planetary motion on our lives. In the earlier centuries only the kings and People with riches used to wear gemstones recommended by Astrologers and have their amazing effects, but today anyone can wear them and reap the benefits of authentic gemstones.
