Gemstones - Myths, Legends and Properties

For centuries kings, queens, princes, princesses, emperors, shamans, healers, you and I have been fascinated with gemstones, with their beauty and uniqueness.

To me they are more of a wonder of the world than the ancient man-made wonders. Ok, the Great Pyramid or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon etc are amazing, ingenious and beautful but what rocks my socks is the sheer imensity of the forces needed in the creation of natural crystal gemstones. 

Whether you love gemstones for their beauty or for their healing properties or because they are your birthstone; these pages will increase the awe and wonder that you feel with these beautiful stones.  Happy browsing!
