| Description |
Tourmaline, which ranges in hue from green to
pink, to blue or black, is one of the most intense
and beautiful stones known to man. It is said to
channel creative energy and focus thought, for
which reason it is much favored by artists. When
worn on or about the body, tourmaline provides
a spiritual and physical balance, a feeling of
harmony and happiness. It is valued as a healing
stone on all levels, bringing restorative energy to
both the body and the emotions. Its bright
radiance, its clarity, and the broad spectrum of
its colors make tourmaline one of the most
magical of stones, possessed of an energy which
transforms the wearer both inside and out.
Amethyst was prized by all the great civilizations
of the past. Its name comes from the Greek word
meaning "not drunk", for it was thought to keep
the wearer sober no matter how much wine he
might consume. Many therapeutic properties are
ascribed to the gem: it cleanses the body of
impurities, it can cure gout, and it keeps the
mind clear and alert and improves the memory.
Because of its purple hue, amethyst is also said
to have a soothing effect, preventing outbursts
of temper and making one generally amiable. It
is also reputed to inspire creativity. Those
wearing the gem feel wonderful both inside and
out. Beautiful as the moonlit sky shot through
with golden stars, lapis has been treasured since
the dawn of civilization. Its rarity made it the
favored jewel of ancient royalty, especially in
Mesopotamia and Egypt. Besides its appealing
color, lapis is thought to have curative powers
and is used as a remedy for fever, gallstones,
insomnia, and melancholy. Who, looking upon
this splendid stone, could feel anything but
happiness?
