Gemstone Meanings

When I started beading and designing jewelry, I just fell in love with all the different kinds of stones and was fascinated by the history and background behind gemstone meanings. Since Ancient times, people have adorned themselves with jewelry for luck, wealth, happiness and some even believed certain stones would  cure or prevent disease.

My absolute favorite stone (at the moment) is amazonite (pictured) which has been used by the wearer for the following reasons:

Success, joy, self-expression, awakening heart, soothing, harmony, balancing 

 

I think I am drawn to this amazing blue stone because of the "balancing" I need being a wife, mother, running a business, etc....
