You might have heard about some magical powers of minerals and gemstones. If you have not, this blog post might enlighten you in two ways than one. If you own some gemstone jewellery, you probably bought it or were given it by someone for a certain attribute it represents. I will go through some at the end of the post if you are not sure.

I have always associated gemstones and minerals with hippies or tarot reading. Not sure why, but I now realise it probably has other uses too that I will not be focusing on in this post. The truth to be told, I was probably too young to appreciate the real magic and beauty of those. I also probably did not realise I needed any sort of uplifting or could do with an increase of energy. 

You might not ever think of OR realised that the power of a nice piece of mineral or gemstone jewellery is very little, in fact, to do with any out-of-this-universe magic. The power is, in fact is in the actual beauty of the stones. 

The Real Value and Power of a Mineral

When you put it on, let's say, gemstone necklace, in the morning and see it around your neck in the mirror, it will make you smile and smiling scientifically proved to make you feel a little better. The necklace is beautiful and if you were feeling a little down or not fully awake, it will give you a little nudge or soft touch of happiness. That helps you begin your day with a small but positive lift that would not be there if you decided not to put that necklace.

You wear it out or to work and someone compliments the necklace and the compliment makes you feel good. Every small experience like this gives you a small lift throughout the day without you realising the stone or mineral has any effect. Your attitude is improved so much you can tackle almost impossible and you feel accomplished, the confidence grows because of your daily achievements. All of those together give you energy and improves your day as result.

The effect is accumulative, say another day you look at the necklace and you remember the compliments and how beautiful it looked. It makes you smile again. 

 Now, you might have trouble choosing the right stone for you. And here is where I think you will find this post valuable (if you are still reading it). I am going to tell you what each mineral represents. You will hopefully give you a guide to buying and wearing minerals in the future.

Onyx

This one will get you through stressful periods in your life and give you the energy to go on. It is said to help remove negative energy and re-energise you. Black onyx is very common 

Malachite

If you struggle with relationships and somehow not sure how to make it work, Malachite is an old friend who is likely to give you the energy to get through and patch and find a way to transform. It is also said to be your trusted companion on in travels. You will see a lot of female solo travellers in the possession of this gem. Malachite is said to cleanse chakras and bring you to a realization about what’s not working out, making you take the right action as a result. It is also said to keep you safe.

Green Turquoise 

Mainly due to its colour, this stone is associated with sophistication, femininity, calmness, serenity and wholesomeness. For a woman, it is certainly a powerful way to get in touch with the earth and express her feminine side while maintaining calmness on the outside. 



Blue Sand

If you are Irish and have this mineral in your possession, you stand every chance of winning the lottery (or so it is believed). This is a lucky gem and known to be an energy generator and aid leaning. If you need to read up more about the benefits of raising internal energy please follow this link. Other than energy and luck, this stone is used to cure children of fears, such as darkness. 

Gold Sand

This one is said to keep you calm and make sure you attain your goals no matter what. Forget being a mental or emotional wreck once you have it in your possession!

Tiger Eye

 If you struggle to let go of fears, you might want to wear jewellery incorporating this mineral. Not only it will help you stay calm, it will help you with balancing your emotions. 

Opalite

You might want to keep this one in your bedroom! It is said to aid sexual energy and enhance sexuality.

Salmon Moss Unakite

Choose this one as a present for anyone wanting to succeed in business or career. It is said to grow business and personal power. Know a recent graduate or someone struggling with a direction in their career or professional life? You know how to encourage them to stay on track and maintain the energy.

Lapis Lazuli

If you wish you were wiser, this one is the one to buy. Said to boost vitality and energy, it is your courage and a guide in one.

You have probably noticed a common pattern among those. All of those act as a hand giving you some form of energy and this is what seems like a magical power of stones. Whether you chose to believe the spiritual meanings of those gems, I would not discard the practical beauty of the gems and the earthy elements they represent.
