Gem Qualities

Gem qualities

Gemstones have been valued from the beginning of time, not only for their beauty but also for their healing qualities. In the past they were sometimes even ground into powder and used as medicine. These days their healing qualities are seen more as vibrational.

Below is a partial list of the stones we use, with short explanations of some of their traditional healing properties.
