Gemstones and Colored Stones in Jewelry
Crystal and Stone Healing

Gemstones or any other colored stone will affect us with the qualities of the color and specific attributes of that stone. If we aren’t clear on the effects, it is helpful to refer to the stone chart on page pages 258—263. A smaller colored stone set with a clear quartz crystal will not only influence the crystal with its effect, but it will have its effects amplified by the clear quartz. Wearing a ruby with a clear quartz, for example, influences the clear quartz to act as a large ruby and the small ruby to become more powerful. When wearing a piece of crystal jewelry near a particular chakra or energy meridian, it is often helpful to include a smaller stone of the color that corresponds to that point. This further stimulates the chakra or meridian point on which it is placed. In order to know which colored stones to use, it is helpful to be able to sensitize ourselves to the effects of color, and then apply it in line with our intentions and energies we wish to influence.
