perfect forms of this gem are said to come from India, but it can be found worldwide. The Carnelian has a long history of
being a stone which offers protection from negative emotions (such as anger, jealousy, envy and rage) to the wearer, as well

myths associated with the Carnelian originate from Egyptian culture, where its power was so revered that it was one of three
(the other two being the Turquoise and the Lapis Lazuli) used most often in Egyptian jewelry. The Goddess Isis is said to
protect the dead with a Carnelian Amulet named "Thet." After being soaked in Aknhami flower water on a Sycamore plinth and
placed on the body of the deceased, Isis would grant the person protection from harm while moving through the AfterLife. The
gem also appears in Hebrew mythology...Aaron's breastplate included a Carnelian stone. Buddhists in both China and India created
amulets inlaid with Carnelian and other semi-precious stones, ascribing to them powers of protection and employing them in
many rituals. In some parts of the Middle Eat, Carnelian is said to represent the Hebrew Tribe of Reuben and Phillip the Apostle.

and assist in releasing the bonds of constraint. Jasper was used by Native American shamans to provide protection during their

have fossilized...a type of coal intermediate between peat and anthracite which is so hard and uniform that it may be carved
and polished to look like black glass, even though it radiates no light. The word "Jet" originates from Gagas in Asia Minor
where it was first discovered. A grounding and balancing stone said to carry a negative electrical charge, Jet was believed
to be excellent in the drawing of power and in providing knowledge to the wearer. When combined with Amber, Jet was one of
the traditional stones of the High Priestess who, in some cultures, was the only person allowed to wear both stones together.
In ancient times, Jet was often burned and the fumes inhaled in order to alleviate various conditions, including edema, colds,
female disorders and hysteria. Jet fumes were once also used to detect the loss of virginity...although the exact method of
this practice has been lost over the passage of time. The consumption of water into which a piece of Jet had been dipped was
believed at one time to cure the pangs of childbirth, and powdered Jet mixed with wax to form a salve was used for dental
problems. A mixture of Jet in wine was formerly used to relieve toothache and also served as a fixative for loose teeth. Traditionally
known to be a "one person" stone, Jet was thought to ward off evil (especially magickal evil), lift fear and cure depression.

to repel plague, fever and negativity and offer protection from thunderstorms. In Ancient Greece, Jet was a sacred substance
and in Assyria, it was considered to be the Gods' favored jewel. Widely used as a talisman or amulet, medieval legend credits
these medallions with supernatural powers...the ability to gain complete control over the natural elements (fire, air, earth
and water), for example. Given as a gift, the amulet could allegedly place a person under the power of the giver's mental
control. In Ancient Britain and Ireland, Jet was considered an extremely lucky stone and housewives burned it to ensure the
safe return of their sailor husbands. Jet was one of the first materials to be carved into crosses and made into rosaries
during the early days of the Christian Church. In the Victorian Era, Jet beads became very fashionable as trimming for women's
clothing and the stone itself worn as mourning jewelry. Wearers also carried the stone to ease arthritis of the knee and to
prevent baldness. The use of Jet for amulets and ornaments was once world-wide and small figurines carved from Jet have been
found in the tombs of Ancient Egypt, Japan and in the Pueblos of the American Indians. Jet in its natural form is found most
abundantly in England, France, Germany and Spain and is used today chiefly in the manufacture of buttons and costume jewelry.

member of the Quartz family with a very high water content, it is a brittle, heat-sensitive, silicon oxide stone which often
shatters or cracks when it is cut or polished. If given as a lucky or love stone, such shattering was once considered to be
a sign of extreme bad fortune. The flashes of color come from natural silica spheres which create light interference. Due
to its delicate nature, Opals are usually worn only as pendants and earrings. The modern name of the gem is derived from three
ancient sources: the Sanskrit upala (which means "precious stone"); the Latin opalus; and the Greek opallios
(which means "to see a color change"). It is unique in the world of jewels, having little color of its own, yet shining with
the radiance of all the other gems. In the Nineteenth Century, the Opal became to be considered a stone of bad luck...especially
if worn by those not born in the month of October. The only exception to this was the Black Opal, which has always been believed
to bring its owner good fortune. The origin of the unlucky superstition is unknown. Early races credited the Opal with magical
qualities and traditionally, the Opal was said to aid its wearer in seeing possibilities. It was believed to clarify by amplifying
and mirroring feelings, buried emotions and desires. It was also thought to lessen inhibitions and promote spontaneity. The Opal is an historically treasured gem and 6,000 year old Opal artifacts have
been found in Kenyan caves. However, most are believed to be approximately 60 million years old (or more) and generally date
back to the Cretaceous period when dinosaurs roamed the earth. The early Greeks believed the Opal bestowed powers of foresight
and prophecy upon its owner while in Arabian folklore, it is said that the stone fell from heaven in flashes of lightning.
To the Romans, it was considered to be a token of hope and purity. Legend states that one Roman Emperor offered to trade one-third
of his vast kingdom for a single Opal and that the Roman Senator Nonius chose exile rather than surrender a large Opal to
Marc Antony. It has been said that the beauty of the Opal is the combination of the beauty of all other gems. In the Middle
Ages, the Opal was known as the "eye stone" due to a belief that it was beneficial to eyesight and blonde women were known
to wear necklaces of Opal in order to protect their hair from losing its color. Some cultures thought the effect of the Opal
on sight could render the wearer invisible. Needless to say, it was thus a popular item among thieves. Opals were set into
the crown jewels of France and Napoleon gave Josephine a beautiful example of this stone containing brilliant red flashes
which was called "The Burning of Troy." It was a favored gem of Queen Victoria who often gave them as wedding presents. The

gems in the magickal necklace of Vishnu. Traditionally, the Pearl is an emblem of chastity and purity, symbolizing love, success
and happiness. These gems were once credited with possessing the ability to reproduce themselves. This quality was attributed
to every ninth Pearl, each of which would be placed in a bottle with two grains of rice and left to breed. In very early medical
treatments, Pearls were crushed and taken internally in honey or wine to cure a variety of ailments. They were also sometimes
dissolved in acid and swallowed to honor a famous personage...Cleopatra did this to honor Marc Antony and Sir Thomas Gresham
to honor Queen Elizabeth I of England. Pearls were considered a powerful protective amulet and particularly treasured by divers

at the Cologne Cathedral. The Greeks used it in headbands in order to foretell the future and the Druids stitched Peridot

a certain unique enchantment to the particular sphere. In Medieval Europe, alchemists believed that if Rock Crystal were cut
in a certain manner and then placed in sunlight, it would have the power to make any solid thing invisible. To the Japanese,
it was the "perfect jewel," being a symbol of purity, patience and perseverance, and in Ancient Rome, noblewomen carried Crystal

was originally found. ("Topazios" means "to seek.") In ancient times, the figure of a Falcon was carved upon a Topaz in order
to ensure the goodwill of kings, princes and magnates. The Egyptians believed that the yellow (or tawny) Topaz gleaned its
golden glow from the mighty Sun God, Ra, which made it a very powerful amulet offering protection from harm to the faithful.

the Topaz could change color in the presence of poisoned food or drink and its mystical medicinal powers (which included curing
