The descriptions that follow are the product of research through a variety
of references as well as personal experience with a large assortment of
gems in my years as a jeweller and meditator. Books such as Love is
in the Earth by Melody, the work of Katrina Raphael, and many other
references have been invaluable in amassing this information. However,
there is no substitute for direct experience with mineral energies. Repeatedly
meditating with minerals held in the hands or placed on the body and noting
the consistency of experiences will provide you with a great deal of personal
knowledge which far exceeds the value of book learning. I encourage you
to experiment and share your experiences and questions. |
