Why Wear Semi-Precious Gemstone Jewelry?

Did You Know That Semi-Precious Gemstones Can Affect How You Feel?

 

    Semi-precious gemstones may lie deep within the earth or exposed to the sun.  They are dull or prismatic, dense or coarse.  Blues, greens, reds and colors that no rainbow would dare to display  are common among the plentiful supply of semi-precious gemstones available to us.  Some, like the agate, are in plentiful supply, and therefore not very expensive.  Others, like lapis-lazuli or aquamarine, are relatively scarce, and therefore, more expensive.


     These semi-precious gemstones, like herbs, colors, numbers and sounds are not inert.  They may sit quietly in the earth for millions of years or rest on a shelf where someone placed them as specimens to be admired for their beauty. While most people would probably consider them dead because they do not visibly move, semi-precious gemstones are active powerful tools that possess energies that can and do affect our world.  But How?

     The human body is more than skin, muscles and bones.  Like the earth and the universe, science has demonstrated that each physical body is characterized by a complex set of energy waves and is surrounded by an electro-magnetic field.  In reality then, the total human being is a series of energy systems that connect the mind, the body, the emotions and the life force or soul.  For centuries, people have believed that both semi-precious and precious gemstones (emerald, ruby, sapphire, diamond, etc.)have the power to harmonize these energy systems and create changes that will manifest themselves in the physical body.

 


Attributes Of Selected Semi-Precious Gemstones and Metals

     Every semi-precious gemstone has its own vibrational resonance, special influence and function. Inherent within the nature of every one of them is the ability to focus or channel life energy.  Life energy is a complex web of bodily and spiritual resonance governed by the mind.  Semi-precious gemstones have energy levels all of their own that can channel our life energy in ways that heal, energize, attune and uplift the spirit of our inner beings.


     For your information, what follows is a list of the semi-precious gemstones and metals that we use most frequently in our designs and their associated powers or attributes.  The color is listed in parentheses next to the gemstone name followed by a brief description of the stone's attributes.
