Gemstones are semi-precious and precious stones.
All can be called gems. All are minerals that have
hardness, density, refraction and color. Each
stone contains energy that is unique to the type
of stone. Quartz crystals are used in expanding
the mind to touch the spirit world. Crystals are
used to enhance the beneficial life force. Crystal
water (water that a quartz crystal has been placed)
has been drunk for its healthy benefits for
centuries. Getting to know the properites and
benefits of thousands of stones can take a lifetime,
but is a rewarding and fun adventure. I invite you to study crystals and gemstones, their
origins, folklore, meaning and current day uses on this page, dedicated to crystals
and gemstones. Explore the meaning of gemstones and crystals and get creative with
