Gemstones have long been used in jewelry as a fashion statement, but those who are interested in metaphysics also have the belief that the various gemstones have mystical qualites attached to them.

 

Before you discount this idea, think about copper.  Many of you may have heard that wearing copper is beneficial for easing arthritis.  Some of you may even have known someone who benefited from wearing the metal.  Why would gemstones not have similar qualities?

 

I have written several articles on the various gemstones for my research library and each of these articles mentions the effect that gemstones are reported to have in healing of various diseases.  If you have an interest in this topic, you may find it interesting to read these gemstone articles.
