Gemstone MeaningsGemstone Meanings Various gemstone meanings can be found in human history and even in present day. Down through the ages human cultures all around the world have attributed meanings and powers to gemstones. Although the cultures are seperated by vast amounts of distance and time it is curious to note that there seem to be some correlations between their beliefs.
All of us have seen pictures of the ancient Egyptian King Tut's Mask. It is said that the Egyptians believed the gemstones in his eyes would help him to see his way into the afterlife. The ancient Greeks believed amethyst would help promote sobriety when drinking alchohol. In India people who were looking for spiritual enlightenment might use a moonstone to help them find their way. Do you see the correlation? All magical or religous in nature. Powerful in some respect.
All of these belief systems including Wicca, Alternative Medicine, the Zodiac, Chakras, The Old Testament and more, may have some merit based on the physical properties of gemstones. Today we know gem crystals conduct and react to energy. A simple case in point would be the quartz crystals used today in many watches. Their constant and precise rythmic pulsing when electro-magnetic energy is applied to them makes them perfect for keeping time. This is possible due to their crystalline structure which is made up of molecules in an organized and repetative shape. Who knows if they may not be able to conduct other kinds of life forces we are not yet aware of?
