💎 Sorry I have been a way for a while but I'm back and eager to get in track with showing you all the beauty, an power, natural gemstones have to offer 💎 Why are we drawn to gemstones anyway? I suppose if you are a Geologist it's because you have an interest in how the earth was created. Or a manufacturer or businessman...you are looking for stones that can be used in creating other products...like concrete, or electronic / computer devices, watches, etc. Beyond their creation capabilities gemstones have a natural "draw" for their simple beauty. Such beauty makes the human heart ❤️ and mind feel "alive" with awe and wonder, with curiosity and a need to touch, to caress. In essence (and in some cases) they have the ability to heal. Join me now as we explore their amazing beauty and healing properties.

I don't know if you have heard of the human body's Chakras but they are our "energy centers"., and we have seven main ones. Yes human beings put out an electrical charge (it's why a doctor.can read your heart rhythm with an EKG) and these energy centers respond to certain frequencies (including those put out by gemstones) These are the most common used to "align" your base/root (lower) chakra. I love the deep reds of these, and the blacks. These are wonderful in bracelets and neckpieces Do you have a favorite?

"Agate is a banded form of chalcedony — which is itself a microcrystalline variety of quartz". That sounds quite technical so if you're thing "what???"all you really need to remember is it is a type of quartz where the crystals are laid in LAYERS when it's forming. That's what makes it different from other types of quartz (like Amethyst). This ends up giving you stunning pieces when the rock is cut in slices. My favorite way of admiring and enjoying this stone ❤️ There are quite a few different types of Agate: - Blue Lace - Crazy Lace - Green Flower - Green Moss - Tree / Dendritic (looks like ferns are growing in it) - Fire - Botswana - Geode (where your slices come from) Agate can come in so many colors. The more muted colors are natural, the brighter or more brilliant colors are because they have been dyed (still so beautiful) I like having Agate about certainly for its beauty, but also because it is a wonderful "grounding" stone

For me this is the ultimate gemstone. It may be because purple is my favorite color, or because this stone has a wonderful calming effect. As a matter of fact it is one of the best gemstones to keep beside your bed Amethyst is actually a type of quartz and it's coloring comes due to minerals around it when it was forming

Before I started researching deeper into gemstones I used to think Tiger Eye only came in one color...the stunning browns. It's a beauty for decorating your area in Autumn colors and it's one of my favorite stones for jewelry pieces. But did you know Tiger Eye also comes in gold, blue & gold, and red? This beautiful natural stone is perfect for "grounding" energy. Where in the world can Tiger Eye be found: China and Brazil are just 2 of the countries where this stone is mined
