Q: What do the diamond pieces mean . . . ?
A: Rather the diamond represents to the entity the great truth and lesson the entity in self may gain from the study of the vision . . .

The entity was among those . . . a carver of stones . . . diamonds . . .
As each stone indeed has the spirit—as the spirit . . . of the diamond—it is the fire that may be in a little different vibration, burned—so in its oppression it may bring that which fires the imagination of those who are very selfish or it may bring peace to the wearer. The diamond is selfish in its very nature . . . the diamond . . . set down during those periods of activity in Egypt as Ark-uen.

Many readings came from people who lost diamonds and asked Cayce for help:
Q. Is the diamond brooch, crescent shaped, in my home . . . ?

Another member wrote to the A.R.E. in 1954 about trip to Ankor Wat and Ankor Tom in Cambodia:
. . . diamonds and rubies that had been buried in the pillars either in or around the temples (this was between the 9th and 13th centuries). Stones had occasionally been found and of course they didn’t want strangers walking off with them! Our guide said that the reason for placing the stones in the foundations of the temple pillars had to do with the vibration and power . . .
1298-1, Report #8
Regarding a study compiled for Stephen N. Green, a gem collector, in 1946, the A.R.E. sent a letter to client 1847:
Your reading says ’Pearls and diamonds are the stones that bring vibratory reactions . . .’ . . . Will you therefore tell us what effects or experiences you have had from these gems?
1847-1, Report #3
Edgar Cayce gave a reading for himself about a dream he had.
. . . There was actually a string on me . . . At times it was a cord, other times a heavy rope or chain. Others it was a rope of . . . diamonds . . .
Q: What was the significance of the different cords?
A: . . . Sometimes in cords, other times in beautiful manners, other times in dread.

At the top put the cornucopia—this in bright colors, with the fruit of the spirit poured from same. Here these figures would be twelve in number. Take these different shapes, mostly as of triangles, however, or not fully round as rolled from same. These would be indicated as brilliants, or as diamonds, or as precious stones . . .

. . . diamonds . . . and all those things that made for adornment . . .
1493-1
In Mercury also we find the inclinations for definite divisions of application of the mental self to material things—minerals and their attributes; that is the emotions that arise in the experience from individuals in the variations, as might be said, of carbon; in its variations between coal and a diamond—they are the same, but one is under pressure, the other is with water!

More on Diamonds
First used by Manlius (AD 16) and Pliny (AD 100), diamonds have captured our imagination for ages.
One of the most entertaining aspects of revisiting the Life Readings was perusing the section on diamonds. Many readings were given to people who were coming to the Source because they wanted Cayce to tell them where they could find a lost piece of jewelry. The Source did describe many of these answers with accuracy, but I believe that the extraordinary wisdom from the Source would have been better used to pursue spiritual requests rather than mundane or materialistic appeals. Nevertheless, Source faithfully delivered a considerable amount of interesting information.
Diamonds have profound uses for healing. In fact, there are some energy healers who use nothing but diamonds in their sessions, placing these rarest and toughest of gems on the bodies of clients with very successful results.
Diamonds are the mineral answer to carbon. Powerful tools for redefining our DNA and awakening dormant strands from past lives and other realms, diamonds help us to fully experience the wisdom of the ages. Whether the knowledge comes from this world or other universes, our guides and helpers are attempting to work with us to improve the quality of life for everyone here on earth—if we will merely listen.
The trouble with pure diamonds is the cost. There are many ways around their expense. Years ago, I found a ring made of synthetic diamond and started wearing it around with amazing results. The stones energized me, even though they were grown in a lab. I continue to wear the ring from time to time when I need to create an energy of abundance or whenever I feel I am a little out of alignment on the etheric level.
Another way to use diamond energy without going to a jewelry store is by using Herkimer diamonds, which are beautiful and hail from the town with the same name in New York.
Herkimer diamonds are called diamonds but are actually quartz crystal, packed with a punch! Found only in and around Herkimer County and the Mohawk River Valley, they were once very prevalent. These days, more people value their significance, and Herkimer diamonds are becoming rare and hard to find. I have a favorite piece that I work with daily, especially since my Vedic astrologer prescribed diamond to me as a useful remedy.
The other reason I like diamonds is that, as an Aries, diamond is my birthstone. Does that matter? I don’t think so. I find the most important aspect to consider when dealing with stones is to choose what attracts you. That said, there is much written about birthstones, and they are a big part of the collective consciousness right now. For that reason, I have included them in this book. Each stone mentioned in these pages has played a significant role in humanity since anyone can recall. Regarding birthstones, there must be some validity to the list, even if it is outside of conscious awareness. I believe we learn about our birthstones as children and are expected to resonate with them because people have told us that they are special. If you are drawn to your birthstone, regardless of the reason, you should use it.
I also enjoyed the reading the Source’s statement that diamond is selfish by its very nature. Selfishness is often an attribute of Aries.
Speaking of love, once you have allowed diamonds to realign you for your highest good, they can assist in strengthening any love you have in your life. The traditional symbol of marriage, the diamond is the toughest gem on earth and believed to withstand any challenge. Diamonds will help bring that steadfast energy to any relationships you may have. Diamonds are magnificent, so what’s not to love? I certainly do!
