Healing Properties of Gemstones

Tom Adams 2008

All gemstones with the exception of Coral and Pearl, are minerals created by extreme heat and pressure within the earth. The healing properties of gemstones correspond to their unique vibrational energy and the particular frequency of light energy which they transmit and receive. The various frequencies of energy which the different gemstones absorb and radiate, are seen in their particular color.

The Navajos believed it could help appease the “Wind Spirits” and the Tibetans use turquoise in their ritual religious objects as well as jewelry, also to temper the “Winds” ie.prana.

Turquoise was esteemed by Tibetan Shamans for both its spiritual and physical healing and protective qualities. Ancient manuscripts from India, Afghanistan and the Middle East also refer to the healing effects of wearing turquoise.

Due to the degradation of our planet, and the many stress related illness’s of our modern times, the earthly elements and healing properties of turquoise and other gemstones are made increasingly more important, useful and popular for people all over the world today.
