Dear Gary ~ I couldn't agree with you more, regarding the gems I mean, but also in agreement with Swamiji's idea about spiritual practices. I make jewelry and use a lot of semi-previous stones, along with precious metals (mostly gold and silver). So far, I haven't used precious gems as they are beyond my budget, but I have studied (this primarily from a Western point of view) the metaphysical meanings and properties of semiprecious stones and precious metals and have a panel card (working on a brochure) that people who buy my jewelry may have for free. My favorites seem to be the more grounding beads, like picture jasper, pyrite, mookite (a wonderful new find) and many of the agates. I have even found petrified wood beads. That was amazing. They were faceted and gorgeous. Best ~ Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
