You are here: Home>  Services>  Bead Information>  Gemstone Metaphysical Properties>

Minerals and gems have been used for many different purposes throughout the ages. Different traditions ascribe different traits to them - this is a general list of gemstones, their history and composition, and their metaphysical properties. I found this information at Beadage on the internet and combined it with data from the book “The Book Of Stones - Who They Are & What They Teach” by Robert Simmons and Naisha Ahsian Heaven & Earth Publishing. Truly the most comprehensive and detailed resource for gemstone information! I love this book!
