Gemstones give off energy, much like a tuning fork.
Your body, its various physical and psychic parts, also give off energies
based on the chemico-energy interactions within and through them. The
energy attraction between specific stones and people result from the harmonizing
of these vibrating energies. Gemstones must be in contact with your skin,
either around a chain on your neck, resting against your chest, or in the palm
of your hand. The size and quality of the stones do not make any
difference in their healing powers. Below lists specific
gemstones and their meanings, or you can skip down to Magical Intentions which lists
things stones are used for and their related gemstones.
