comes from the Arabic and means blue. This opaque, deep blue gemstone has a grand past.
It was among the first gemstones to be worn as jewelry and worked on. At excavations in the
ancient centers of culture around the Mediterranean, archaeologists have again and again
found among the grave furnishings decorative chains and figures made of lapis lazuli – clear
indications that the deep blue stone was already popular thousands of years ago among the
people of Mesopotamia, Egypt, Persia, Greece and Rome.
Lapis lazuli is regarded by many people around the world as the stone of friendship and truth.
The blue stone is said to encourage harmony in relationships and help its wearer to be authentic

Amber
The desire for amber is nothing new. Amber artefacts dating back to the Stone Age
have been found in what is now Germany and Denmark.
Made by the sun
"Stone Age man imbued amber with supernatural properties and used it to wear and
to worship," says Mr Federman. "Amber took on great value and significance to,
among others, the Assyrians, Egyptians, Etruscans, Phoenicians and Greeks. It never
completely went out of vogue since the Stone Age. Between 1895 and 1900, one million
kilograms of Baltic amber were produced for jewelry."
There are many myths surrounding the origin of amber. Ovid wrote that when Phaethon,
a son of Helios, the sun, convinced his father to allow him to drive the chariot of the sun
through the heavens for a day, he erred too close to the earth, scorching it. To save the
earth, Zeus struck Phaethon with a thunderbolt and he died, plunging out of the sky. His
mother and sister turned into trees in their grief but still mourned him. Their tears, dried
by the sun, are amber.
The Greeks called amber 'elektron', sun-made, perhaps because of this story, or
perhaps because it becomes electrically charged when rubbed with a cloth and can
attract small particles. Homer mentions amber jewelry - earrings and a necklace of
amber beads - as a princely gift in the Odyssey.
Another ancient writer, Nicias, said that amber was the juice or essence of the setting
sun congealed in the sea and cast up on the shore.
The Romans sent armies to conquer and control amber-producing areas. The Emperor
Nero was a great connoisseur of amber. During his time, according to the Roman
historian Pliny, the price of an amber figurine, no matter how small, exceeded the price
of a healthy slave.
The ancient Germans burned amber as incense, so they called it 'bernstein', or 'burn
stone'. Clear colorless amber was considered the best material for rosary beads in the
Middle Ages on account of its smooth silky feel. Certain orders of knights controlled the
trade, and unauthorized possession of raw amber was illegal in most of Europe by the
year 1400.

Onyx – regeneration and happiness
Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans.
The name comes from the Greek word onux, meaning fingernail. The story is that one day frisky
Cupid cut the divine fingernails of Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left
the clippings scattered on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of the
heavenly body would ever perish.
True, black isn't normally the color one associates with fingernails. But in Greek times, almost
all colors of chalcedony from white to dark brown and black were called onyx. Today when
we think of onyx we often preface the word with black to distinguish it from other varieties of
onyx that come in white, reddish brown, brown and banded. Later, the Romans narrowed the
term "onyx" to refer to black and dark brown colors only.
Most Black Onyx that is commercially available today is color enhanced (heated and dyed) to
increase its depth of color, although this process does not decrease its value in any manner.
Mystical Properties:
Onyx is thought to increase regeneration, happiness, intuition and one's instincts. It is also told to
decrease sexual desire, and to aid in changing bad habits.
Carnelian - a source of constant renewal and vitality
There is some dispute as to whether the name carnelian is derived from a Latin word
meaning "flesh", or a Latin word meaning "cherry"....but in either case, they reference the that
the stone exhibits.
Ancient Egyptians carried it on and about their bodies as a source of constant renewal and
vitality. It was also told in the Egyptian Book of the Dead to be placed in tombs as "magic
armor" for life after death
♥ Emotional warmth ♥ Sociability ♥ Creativity ♥ Individuality ♥ Memory
♥ Appreciation of nature ♥ Harmony ♥ Courage ♥ Happiness ♥ Self-
esteem ♥ Rebirth ♥ Reincarnation ♥ Past life recall
Zodiac - Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo
A stabilizing stone, Carnelian restores vitality and motivation, and
stimulates creativity. It gives courage, promotes positive life choices,
dispels apathy and motivates for success. Carnelian is useful for
overcoming abuse of any kind. It helps in trusting yourself and your perceptions. It overcomes
negative conditioning and encourages steadfastness. Carnelian improves analytic abilities and
clarifies perception. It sharpens concentration and dispels mental lethargy. The stone protects
against envy, rage and resentment. Calms anger, banishes emotional negativity and replaces it
with a love of life. Carnelian boosts fertility and stimulates sexuality.
Carnelian treats lower back problems, rheumatism, arthritis, neuralgia and depression. It
regulates the kidneys, and accelerates healing in bones and ligaments. Improves vitamin and
mineral absorption and ensures good blood supply to organs and tissues.

Coral - connection to nature
Corals are a decorative material with a very special fascination - the perfect
embodiment of Man's longing for summer, sun and far-off oceans.
As to the origin of the name, the etymologists are not, however, of one opinion. Some
say that it comes from the Greek 'korallion', which denotes the hard, calcareous
skeleton of the coral animals, or from 'kura-halos', for 'mermaid', as the fine branches
of the coral sometimes look like small figures. Others think it more likely that the word
is derived from the Hebrew 'goral', (a small stone used in the drawing of lots), for
coral branches used to be used in oracles in Palestine, Asia Minor and around the
Mediterranean.
What are corals?
Corals are the product of tiny living beings which settled in enormous colonies in the
depths of warm seas long before our time. The polyps, surrounded by a fleshy skin,
excrete a carbonic substance from which the corals grow like trees and branches.
These can attain a height of sixteen inches (40 cm), though the actual branches seldom
exceed one and a half inches (4 cm). At the forks, they are somewhat thicker. It is
from these parts that the precious raw material for jewelry items, large coral beads or
carvings is obtained.
Traditionally, the fragile little coral trees were brought up from the depths with trawl
nets. However, since first-class corals have now become rather rare, divers are
now deployed, in a less destructive process which involves their going down and
harvesting the sensitive coral branches. After that, the branches are cleaned, sorted
and processed by means of saws, knives, files or drills. Coral is not usually ground or
cut on a wheel.
Unprocessed, coral is matt. It is not until it has been polished that it takes on that
beautiful shine. It is often porous, full of holes or cracked, and in these cases it is
of lesser quality. Coral of that kind is sometimes filled with colored wax to improve
its appearance. High-quality coral is of an even color and free of cracks, blotches,
striations and holes. Since genuine untreated coral is rare, it does fetch good prices. For
that reason, anyone being offered what appears to be high-quality coral cheaply would
do well to view the matter with a certain degree of scepsis. The best thing to do is to
purchase one's high-quality coral jewelry from a reputable merchant
Coral on bare skin – irresistible!
Coral has been used for decorative purposes and esteemed as a protective stone
since time immemorial. Even today, red corals are still worn as a talisman to protect
the wearer against evil spirits in many cultures. Modern gemstone therapists too highly
esteem its positive effects. Coral, it is said, relieves tension and fear and promotes
positive forms of social life.
The ancient faith in the protective and invigorating force of coral is perpetuated in the
custom of putting a necklace of red corals round the neck of a small child. Young girls
too are often given a fine coral necklace as their first piece of jewelry. Yet coral is more
than that: in some wonderful way coral reflects the complexion of its wearer, developing
a positively irresistible effect on her bare skin. Coral is one of the most attractive
decorative materials imaginable. Again and again, it inspires international designers to
fantastic creations.
Mystical Properties:
Since coral is a stone of organic origin, it can be used to reconnect with nature and the
variety of its wonders.
Red coral was considered by the Pueblo Indians to be one of the four element stones.
Among the Hopi and Zuni, the Road of life is symbolized by four "elements", coral, jet,
abalone and turquoise.
Coral is said to quiet the emotions and to bring peace to within the self, it facilitates
intuition, imagination and visualization. Coral helps one to both understand and use the
qualities of the mystic. It can bring one into communication with the Ancient Ones of the
world and expedite and accelerate the transfer of knowledge
Healing Properties:
Coral symbolizes life and blood force energy in many cultures. Dark red coral is used for
heating and stimulating the bloodstream. Pink shades restore harmony to the heart.
The red or white varieties have long been considered useful in healing mental disease,
as well as anemia. It strengthens the circulatory system and the bones of the body. It
can be used to stimulate tissue regeneration.

Amethyst – sobering and cleansing stone
Amethyst is a variety of Quartz and is a 6th Anniversary gemstone. In popular belief, the
amethyst offers protection against drunkenness - for the Greek words 'amethystos' mean 'not
intoxicated' in translation. A large number of further miraculous powers are attributed to the
amethyst in all sorts of cultures. It was said to protect crops against tempests and locusts,
bring good fortune in war and in the hunt, drive out evil spirits and inspire the intellect. Later,
Hieronymus even reported that eagles placed an amethyst in their nest in order to protect their
young from the selfsame danger. Apart from these powers, gemstone therapists say that the
amethyst has a sobering and cleansing effect. Amethyst has also been said to quell excessive
stomach acid and, served to combat insect bites and beautify the skin.
Some amethysts pale almost to colorlessness in daylight. The reason for this has not yet been
discovered, but it is possible to re-color them by means of radium radiation. The fact that
these stones can lose their color makes it obvious that amethyst jewelry should not be worn
while
sunbathing, in a solarium or in a discotheque with black light. Sudden changes of temperature
can also be harmful to the stone !
Chakras - Third Eye Chakra, Crown Chakra

Pearls - innocence stone
Pearls are organic gems, created when an oyster covers a foreign object with beautiful
layers of nacre. Long ago, pearls were important financial assets, comparable in price
to real estate, as thousands of oysters had to be searched for just one pearl. They were
rare because they were created only by chance.
Today pearls are cultured by Man. Shell beads are placed inside an oyster and the
