Gemstones
Diamonds are referred to as the only “precious stone,” but I believe this is a misnomer. There are countless “semi-precious” stones that can be more valuable than diamonds on a carat-for-carat basis, as well as being equally captivating and rare. The variety of gemstones is vast, with some being highly sought after while others are more fun and accessible. Rubies, lapis lazuli, turquoise, and blue topaz are just a few examples of gems that range from regal to playful and are believed to provide spiritual and emotional benefits.
Turquoise
Turquoise is a gemstone characterized by its warm and inviting qualities, which contribute positively to an individual’s well-being. Renowned for its nurturing properties, this stone is particularly beneficial for those experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, and depression. Individuals navigating challenging emotional periods may find Turquoise to be a supportive and comforting presence.
