Gemstones and Crystals
The ancient Greek philosopher Plato, stated crystals and gemstones are from the stars and planets, while Australian Aboriginals and the Native North Americans believed gemstones to be the bones of Mother Nature. Crystals are millions of years old and formed by the chemical reaction created by wind, fire and water. Their healing and magical properties were recognised as far back as 3500 years ago by the Ancient Egyptians. Egyptian rulers were buried with gems to protect their soul as it went on its journey to the next world. They favoured amulets and talismans made of Lapis Lazuli, Carnelian, Turquoise and Quartz.
In India, in 400 BCE, a Sanskrit document outlined the astrological attributes of gems, and today Indian astrologers still make use of this information when advising a client on how to attract luck, health or wealth.

Gemstones can be used to attract a soulmate, revive passion and help heal a broken heart - gemstones quite literally have a magical effect.
