The Power of Gems
With all of the snow, ice, and cold that we have had lately, spring is on the mind of most people. With spring comes tulips, daffodils, and other flowers that begin poking their heads out of the ground at the first sign of warm weather. Spring is a great time for new beginnings in nature and for us, as humans. It is also a time to show love and appreciation for those in your life. Buying a piece of jewelry can be a great way to do just that.
Honor spring by choosing a gemstone that has some of the bright and lively colors that spring is known for. Many people choose to just stick with birthstones when looking at gemstone jewelry, but you don’t have to. You can choose a stone that is the birthstone of another month, simply because you like the color of it. Or you can choose a gemstone that has special meaning to your life and what you are going through at this moment.
What are some of the colors and meanings of gemstones?
Green Gemstones – What other color signifies spring as much as green? In gemstones, you can find green in stones such as emeralds, jade, and peridot, among others. Green is known for being the color of the earth, and symbolizes life harmony and fertility. It is also the color of balance, and means growth and learning. Pink Gemstones – This is one of the most predominant colors in flowers that crop up in the spring. Tourmaline, Pink Sapphire, and Rose Pink Quartz are a few of the pink stones that you can choose from. These range in color from a hot pink to a pale pink, and everything in between. Pink gemstones symbolize female energy, as well as gentleness, love, and affection.
Purple Gemstones – This is a beautiful color for spring and has always been the color of nobles and royalty. Purple gemstones include Tourmaline, Pink Diamond, Morganite, and Spinel, which range in colors from a deep dark purple to a lighter, brighter purple. Purple gemstones are thought to clear the mind, decrease depression, help with ideas, and create relaxation.
Combining gemstones, such as the green, pink, and purple, can create a one of a kind piece of jewelry that can add a little color to your body and outfit. Whether giving jewelry or buying it for yourself, a color choice can have a big impact upon the meaning of the piece, as well as the benefits that you may receive.
