THE BEAUTY AND THE UNUSUAL PROPERTIES OF THE CRYSTALS AND MINERALS, AS WE CALL PRECIOUS AND SEMI PRECIOUS STONES, HAVE BEEN NOTED BY MAN SINCE ANTIQUITY. THEY HAVE PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN PEOPLE’S LIFE FOR MILLENNIUMS IN ALL GREAT CIVILIZATIONS. THOUSANDS OF LEGENDS AND STORIES TELL US ABOUT THEIR MYSTICAL AND HEALING PROPERTIES. THERE WERE ALWAYS PEOPLE WHO KNOW ABOUT THE HEALING PROPERTIES O
F STONES, BUT FOR A LOT OF REASONS THIS WAS AN INFORMATION GIVEN FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION, FROM MOUTH TO EAR... AND FOR A LOT OF REASONS, PEOPLE USED TO SHROUD THE GEMS IN MYSTERY, AND RELATE THEM TO MAGIC AND SPELLS. THERE IS NO MAGIC. NO SPELLS. NEARLY 30 YEARS AGO THE MAGIC WAS REVEALED AND BECOME A SCIENCE CALLED GEMOLOGY. IT WAS FOUND OUT THAT THE GEMS WORK ON 4 DIFFERENT LEVELS : SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL, MENTAL AND PHYSICAL. GEMOLOGY BECAME OFFICIAL STUDY IN A LOT OF UNIVERSITIES ACROSS THE WORLD. WHAT ACTUALLY ARE THE SEMI-PRECIOUS AND PRECIOUS STONES? AS I HAVE STUDIED GEOLOGY AND MINERALOGY, I KNOW THAT EACH OF THE GEMS IS A CHEMICAL FORMULA, OR CHEMICAL SUBSTANCE AND, AND THEY ARE ONE OF THE MAIN SOURCES FOR THE TRADITIONAL MEDICINE. LATER WHEN I STARTED TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR HEALING AND ANOTHER PROPERTIES, I HAVE LEARNED THAT THEY HAVE A GREAT POTENTIAL OF COSMIC ENERGY FORCES AND THEY CONDUCT THOSE ENERGY STORAGE. WE ALL KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS ENERGY. HOW IT WORKS? AS EACH OF THEM IS A CHEMICAL FORMULA, EACH CHEMICAL OR MINERAL ELEMENT HAS A DIFFERENT INFLUENCE ON OUR BODY. LETS HAVE AN EXAMPLE: THE MINERAL, OR THE GEM " HELIOTROPE". CHEMICAL FORMULA: SiO2+Al,Fe,Mg,OH,Si. ONE OF THE COMPONENTS IS MAGNESIUM - Mg. HERE ARE SOME OF THE PROPERTIES OF IT: Mg2+ DAMPENS IRRITATION OF THE NERVES AND MUSCLES. IT LOOSENS CRAMP AND RELAXES MUSCLES, THE ANTAGONIST OF CALCIUM - Ca2. MAGNESIUM HINDERS BLOOD CLOTTING, INCREASES BLOOD CIRCULATION, MAKES THE WALLS OF THE BLOOD VESSELS TOUGH AND ELASTIC, EXPANDS THE BLOOD VESSELS SURROUNDING THE HEART, THEREBY IMPROVING THE FUNCTIONING OF THE HEART MUSCLE. MAGNESIUM PROMOTES THE TOUGHNESS AND HARDNESS OF THE BONES AND IT IS INVOLVED WITH THE METABOLISM OF CARBOHYDRATES, FAT AND PROTEINS. PREVENTS SCLEROSIS OF TISSUE AND VESSELS. MENTALLY, MAGNESIUM IS CALMING AND RELAXING. IT IS EFFECTIVE AGAINST NERVOUSNESS, FEARFULNESS, HYPOCHONDRIA, SCHIZOPHRENIA AND DAMPENS EXCITABILITY, IRRITABILITY AND AGGRESSION. MAKES US MORE RESILIENT TOWARDS STRESS. SPIRITUALLY MAGNESIUM PROMOTES A POSITIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE. ONE OF THE MAIN SOURCES OF HELIOTROPE IS INDIA, AND ITS POWDER WAS USED TO MAKE MANY TRADITIONAL MEDICINES. UNTIL TODAY, INDIA CONSUMES VERY LARGE QUANTITIES OF HIGH QUALITY OF HELIOTROPE IN THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY, SO THIS IS WHY THE GOOD QUALITY OF THE GEM, IS RARELY AVAILABLE IN THE GEMSTONE MARKET. P.S. : VERY OFTEN SOME OF THE BIG TRADE COMPANIES AND FACTORIES USE SOME CHEAP STONES, CHANGE THEIR COLORS AND SELL THEM AS SOMETHING ELSE, ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A TRUSTED SALES MAN AND A SHOP, THAT ARE SURE OF THE QUALITY OF THE GEMS THEY HAVE IN STORE AND ARE SELLING TO YOU. SOME OF THE GEM PROPERTIES ARE CONTRADICTORY TO EACH OTHER, THEREFORE NOT ALL MIXTURES OF STONES ARE GOOD. CONSIDER THAT GEMS ARE TRANSMITTERS OF ENERGY, SOMETIMES THEY CAN BE NEGATIVE. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR STONES HAVE BEEN CLEANSED AND NOT HAVING PREVIOUS HARMFUL ATTACHMENTS OF ENERGY, SO YOU CAN REALLY BENEFIT BY USING THEM.
