Over the centuries, man has been using gemstones for a variety of purposes other than just being ornaments. In ancient times precious and semi-precious stones and gems were believed to have extraordinary enhancing and healing powers affecting mind, body and spirit and even influencing our fate and the course of our lives! For instance, gems were believed to be good luck charms when given to a beloved someone. Gemstones have also have been used for remedies in accordance with astrology for centuries. Many have doubted the magical properties believed to reside in each stone and make fun of the idea of gems having any influence on us. However, with man’s continuous search for a healthy body, inner peace, and well-being, some turning back to old beliefs and are finally rediscovering the hidden magical prowess of these beautiful but rare gemstones and have complete faith in this science.
