ALEXANDRITE-Alexandrite, which alternates with pearl as the birthstone for June is particularly interesting because of its color change (green, blue, and violet). The more poetic writers have referred to it as “an emerald by day and a ruby by night”. Alexandrie received its name because it was supposedly discovered on the birthday of Alexander II Czar of Russia in 1830.

Because of its rarity, the value of this gemstone is incredibly high. Most of the larger gems are held in safekeeping in the Smithsonian Institute. The rarity and costliness of alexandrite have led to the production of lab created alexandrite which posses virtually the same physical and optical properties as its natural counterpart, including a hardness of 8.5 on the Moh’s scale, making it an extremely durable stone.

The lab created alexandrite should be cleaned professionally by a jeweler. If home cleaning is necessary, use jewelry cleaner or lukewarm water with a mild soapy solution. To maintain you gem’s brilliance, clean with a small soft bristled brush, especially on the back where dirt collects.

Stimulates happiness and pleasant surprises, good fortune and success in speculative matters. It is good for emotional balance.

ANDRADITE- Silicate of calcium and iron, belonging to the garnet group. It is named after a Portuguese mineralogist, J.B. D’Andrada.

Appearance of Andradite occurs in crystals in the form of a rhombic dodecahedron, like all garnets, or in convex aggregates of crystals, whose color varies with slight variations in the stone’s composition, and which therefore have different names. The black variety is called melanite; the honey yellow variety topazolite; the green one, demantoid. It can also be blackish brown or blackish red. The crystals may be transparent, semi-opaque, opaque, and often have good luster.

It is found in metamorphosed limestone and, rarely, in certain intrusive and extrusive igneous rocks. The topazolite and demantoid varieties are found in serpentines, often together with asbestos.

Occurrence of the Andradite is mainly found in alluvium in the Soviet Union and the United States, but also in Norway and Germany.

AMBER -Starting from 3000 BC, amber is the most beautiful ancient stone.

Amber is wood tar or tree sap which over millions of years has become solid, same as oil which turns to diamond after millions of years of being under pressure. Tar sap from the certain kinds of trees becomes amber after millions years of being in water.

Today scientists name the approximate age of the tar which turned to amber - 50-60 millions years. For them amber is most important for plants and insects which got captured by tar and have been preserved for the incredibly long time. Today pieces of amber with insects are called "inclusions" and are worth lots of money.

Its chemical composition varies because it is a mixture of organic compounds, including succinic acid and succinic resins, originating from the polymerization of terpenes and resinous acids. Amber is a noncrystalline. The name amber has come down through French from the Arabic amber. The Romans called it succinum, as it was rightly believed to be from tree sap. Its use as an ornamental material dates from Neolithic times. It was brought to the foothills of the Alps from the Baltic coast. The distances that had to be covered to obtain it, enormous for those days, give an idea of its importance.

Items made from amber have a great value in every part of the world. From ancient times the stone has been bringing joy and health to its owner. Clear pieces of amber sometimes have preserved plants and insects, which are millions years old.

Color palette of amber includes almost all colors of the rainbow. Sometimes it is clear and goldish as honey, sometimes white as elephant bone, sometimes red as cherry. It also can be blue, green, black, butter, and other.

As far back as 3000 BC rulers of Egypt used this wonderful stone in their jewelry. The history of amber is remarkable. Sometimes its value was the same as gold, sometimes as of silver, though there are known cases when amber was used for fuel.

Amber is not only valued for its beauty and rarity, but also for its medical properties. A long time ago people noticed that carrying amber helps to cure certain diseases. Today scientists have proved the medical abilities of amber. As a consequence of staying in seawater for millions years, amber has a lot of iodium. In other words, carrying amber is similar to being at seaside.

Amber is also a connector. It Polarizes and harmonizes past, present, and future, yin-yang, etc. It clears emotions, and is a blood purifier and works with the warm solar energies. Absorbs negative energy, helps to ground you to the earth plane, protection for the sensitive person. Health aids are purification, releasing fluids for the body; digestive track.

There are just a few countries in the world where amber can be found. It is mainly found along the Baltic coasts of the Soviet Union and Poland, and in the Dominican Republic in the Antilles. Other European sources include Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Sicily. It is also found in the United States, Canada, and Chile; and in Burma. The most quality amber comes from the Baltic Sea. Some scientists call Baltic amber "real" because of the amount of amber acid. Baltic amber is the most precious in the world. Throughout the history amber in Lithuania is a synonym to health, wealth, sun and happiness.

AMETHYST - The violet, purple to almost pink variety of quartz is called amethyst, and ancient name is derived from the Greek amethystos, meaning not drunken, as it was believed to protect those who wore it from drunkenness. It is the most highly prized variety of quartz.

It is composed primarily of silica (SiO2)On the Moh’s scale Amethyst are a 7.0. The violet color is caused by trace amounts of ferric iron. Amethyst crystals are found in vertical, hollow gas tubes that formed in molten basalt. The gas tubes than become filled with silica-bearing solutions. This cased the amethyst to grow very slowly and line the inside walls of the gas tubes. Amethyst is a very popular semi-precious stone and is used for faceting and jewelry making. The typical color is a rich, violet-purple, often distributed in patches or bands. It can also be quiet pale, but is generally the same basic color, without any overtones. It is given both oval and drop mixed cuts, step cuts, and other types of cuts used for colored stones. Specimens of good color but with too many inclusions are cut en cabochon. Stones of 10 or so carats in weight are often found and even larger ones are not rare. Amethyst normally has good luster and transparency. Well-formed, characteristically colored groups of crystals are even used in their natural state as ornaments.

The Greeks named the stone amethyst meaning "without drunkenness" also known as the ‘sobriety stone”, it helps break bad habits. The Greeks used it constantly to protect themselves from overindulgence with food and drink, as well as helps with spiritual awareness, dreaming, dispels nightmares, and protection.

Occurrence the finest amethysts come (in great quantities) from Brazil and neighboring Uruguay, from the United States, Madagascar, and the Soviet Union, India, Australia, South Africa, and many other countries.

The distribution of the color, in striking patches and bands, is characteristic. When the stones contain inclusions, a series of discontinuous, wavy parallel lines, visible with a lens, indicates that they are certainly amethyst. As with nearly all quartzes, the interference figure has a distinctive profile, which usually makes identification immediate. Amethyst can also look vaguely similar to violet cordierite, which also has a strong, distinctive pleochroism. The much rarer violet scapolite may look quiet similar, and its physical characteristics are almost the same as those of quartz. Therefore an expert can only distinguish them.

Simulates and synthetics of the amethyst was much imitated by colored glass in the past, when it was more costly. Nowadays, despite the limited value of the natural stone, fair quantities of synthetic amethyst are produced, using the knowledge acquired in the production of synthetic quartz for technological purposes. The cost of the synthetic product is not much less than that of the natural gemstone.

Amethyst is a spiritual stone and a transmitter of all energies. It helps repel negativity and provides some protection. It also breaks up old emotional thought processes and assists psychic opening in a grounding manner. Works on head chakras for intuitive and spiritual insight. Amethyst is the stone of peace and alliviates mental stress.

AMMONITE- There are several types of Ammonites, the largest grow past four feet across in size. These are distant relatives of the Chambered Nautilus. It looked something like an Octopus as it reached with tentacles for food traveling the ocean floor. This fossil is found embedded in stone and must be chipped, ground, and polished to revel the fossil inside.

ANHYDRITE - Pure joy-reaching angelic kingdom

APACHE TEARS- (translucent black) Volcanic glass. A stone of protection that prevents emotional draining from others, works as a shield against unwanted vibrations, sharpens vision, and helps with transitions. Health aids are emotional security and peace.


AQUAMARINE - The name refers to the palish blue, light blue-green or even light green variety of beryl. The green of aquamarine is a watery green without any trace of yellow and is due to iron, not chromium, as can be seen from examination with a gemological spectroscope.

The most valuable color is a rich, sky blue; but because the stone is pleochroic, even the blue stones have a green or greenish blue tinge in one direction. Quite large stones, ranging from several carats to more than ten or a few tens of carats, are relatively common. Many are virtually free of inclusions. The luster is vitreous and not exceptional. The most common cut is the emerald type, although mixed oval or pear-shaped cuts are not infrequent. On the Moh's scale Aquamarine is a 8.0.

The color of this stone, combined with its particular type of pleochroism and vitreous luster, distinguishes it fairly easily from blue color, the second having a gray or violet tinge, much stronger luster and no pleochroism. As part of the normal finishing process, most of the aquamarines are heated to remove races of yellow and permanently intensifying the blue color.

Aquamarine is imitated by blue glass, which faithfully reproduces the color, if not the pleochroism, but it is most often imitated by blue synthetic spinel, of a slightly different color, with superior luster and no pleochroism. Because of the general similarity, this is sometimes called synthetic aquamarine, although the latter, as such, is not produced. Light green or yellow-green beryl can be turned blue by heating it to a certain temperature for a certain length of time. This practice has been in use for several decades and is considered acceptable, as with zircon and sapphire.

In ancient times, the stone was said to aid seafarers; thus it is an excellent gift suggestion for sailors or one who takes frequent cruises. To dream of aquamarine signifies the making of new friends, to wear aquamarine earrings brings love and affection. It is a universal symbol of youth, hope, and health.

Most aquamarine comes from the pegmatites of Brazil, where crystals weighing several kilos have been found. Other deposits are in the Soviet Union, Madagascar, the United States, and recently, Afghanistan.

Aquamarine is a calming and soothing stone. It helps clarify emotions. Excellent meditation stone. The cooling blue helps you “go with the flow”.


AVENTURINE - The name aventurine is applied to an ornamental material consisting mainly of quartz. It is therefore described here under this heading; although it is actually a metamorphic rock, a quartzite, containing plate-like crystals of other minerals, usually green mica. It is also, improperly, called Indian jade. It should not be confused with aventurine feldspar, a red variety of albite.

It is not normally transparent, but somewhat turbid. Sometimes the green mica plates are obvious and greatly influence color, which may be an attractive, bright green. More often, it is merely greenish off-white or grayish white. The overall appearance can be quiet similar to that of some jadeite. It is generally cut into curved pieces for necklaces or other jewels, or for use as pendants, but it is also much used for carving and figurines. Because of its heterogeneous structure, it does not easily acquire a good polish. On the Moh's scale it is a 7.0.

The granular appearance, the possible presence of distinct green fibers, and its particular translucence are the most distinctive characteristics. Their density immediately distinguishes specimens similar to jadeite jade. It is also much more brittle than jade.

Aventurine comes mainly from India, the Soviet Union, Brazil and Australia, but also from Germany. It is fashioned in all these countries.

Aventurine feldspar is imitated by glass, usually in the form of a brown paste containing golden metallic fibers, hence somewhat dissimilar. Some people claim that the name aventurine was originally given to a type of Murano glass containing metallic fibers and only subsequently applied to the ornamental mineral, which looks like it. It is not manufactured synthetically. Because of its granular structure, minute discontinuities and porosity, aventurine absorbs artificial colorants quiet easily, and consequently it is sometimes given a bright green color, with a view to greatly increasing its value.

Some of its healing qualities are Good luck, abundance, adventures in travel, healing heart & emotions, love loss, self-love.

BLOODSTONE or Heliotrope -(green and red) With its blood-red spots of Iron Oxide, bloodstone is considered one of the most attractive of the green jaspers. On the Moh's scale bloodstone is a 7.0.

According to one legend about the crucifixion of Christ, blood flowing from one of his wounds splashed on to dark green jasper lying on the foot of the cross- and from this sprang bloodstone jasper. The legend lasted through the Middle Ages and beyond and various sculptors have skillfully carved the head of Christ on bloodstone so that the red flecks represent the flow of blood dripping from the wounds inflicted by his crown of thorns.

The healing properties of bloodstone known by physicians as Lapis Sanguinarius, were employed for centuries by the native people in South America in the 1600's. "The virtue of this stone is much above that of any other gem, for it stops the flux of blood in any part. We have seen some that were troubled with the flux of Hemorrhoids who found remedy wearing rings made from bloodstone." The stone has also been known to help with Childbirth, stops bleeding, inflammations, balances emotions, grounding, neutralizes and eliminates toxins.

CHALCEDONY - This is the name given to the microcrystalline varieties of quartz that form concretionary deposits. They have been used since time immemorial both as gems, because of their color, hardness, and ability to take a good polish, and as precious materials for the production of ornaments or small sculptures. The different combinations of colors and patterns have given rise to a specialized nomenclature that was once of great importance. The name chalcedony probably comes from Calcedon or Calchedon, an ancient port on the Sea of Marmara, in Asia Minor. Ornamental materials were mined in that area, and it was an active trading center for precious stones of various types and origins.

The typical color is blue whitish-gray, but for ornamental purposes, the types that have been variously colored by small quantities of other elements are usually used. These colors can cover the entire mass, as with jasper, or just a few thin, successive layers, as with agate and onyx. The most highly prized colors for the concretionary varieties, which are translucent to semi-opaque, are brownish yellow, red, black, green, black-and-white or gray-and-white and yellow, red, brownish red or black for jaspers, which are semi-opaque to opaque. All varieties are cut into cabochons, engraved, or made into seal stones or rounded, polished, and pierced for necklaces and other items of jewelry. Various forms of chalcedony were used extensively in the past for bases and handles of gold items and for stone inlay work. Agate and onyx, with their consecutive layers of different colors, make excellent materials for cameos; the contrast between the different layers is used to heighten the relief. Some variegated pieces are used for the carving of multi-colored figurines similar to those made from jadeite. The most highly prized variety nowadays is chryso-prase, which is a bright green color.

Large amounts of chalcedony come from Uruguay and the bordering regions of Brazil, but it is found in many other countries. In Germany, Idar-Oberstein is famous for agate, although the term agate apparently comes from Akhates, the Greek name for a river in Sicily where these stones were found several centuries BC. Chryso-prase comes mainly from Germany, the Soviet Union, the United States, Canada, and Brazil.

In the past chalcedony was imitated by glass, moulded pieces even being used to simulate carved stones. It is not produced synthetically. Because chalcedony is porous, it has long been the practice to impregnate it with artificial dyestuffs, making it look like onyx, even where the original color is almost uniform. This process is facilitated because the porosity of chalcedony often varies from one layer to another, so that one layer can absorb color well, whereas the adjoining one absorbs it little or not at all. Agate has been artificially colored for so long and the procedure is so widespread that it is regarded as normal, not fraudulent, practice. Chalcedony is also colored green to simulate chryso-prase. This practice is considered fraudulent as the value of chryso-prase depends almost exclusively on color. Equally fraudulent is intensification of the color of chryso-prase by the same means.


CHAROITE - (purple) Charoite (pronounced shar-oh-ite) is a natural deep purple opaque stone interspersed with quartz and manganese.

Found in Eastern Lberia, Charoite is used in modern times as a symbol of universal brotherhood. “Letting go”, transmission of negativity, synthesis of heart and crown chakras, facilitates acceptance of others.

COPPER - Arthritis, stimulates initiative and optimism, good luck.

CORAL- Calcium carbonate in the form of calcite is the main constituent of calcareous corals; minor constituents are magnesium carbonate and proteinaceous organic substances, which act as binding agents. A horny, proteinaceous substance whose composition varies according to the species is, on the coral used since antiquity as an ornamental material comes from the calcareous skeletons of colonies of marine organisms of the phylum Cnidaria, order Corgonacea, genus Corallium. The most famous of these organisms is Corallium rubrum, which lives in the waters of the Mediterranean and, despite its name, provides not only red, but also orange, pink and white coral.

The skeletons of corals are vary in color: from bright to dark red, slightly orange-red, pink, and white; red to orange pink with areas of white, and from medium to deep pink, sometimes with alternate, concentric layers of lighter and darker color and a whitish portion. Characteristic features are differences in translucency. Sometimes coral has a different-colored marrow or medulla, or an axial canal. Coral was believed to be a vegetable, a type of small, submarine tree.

In all cases, coral consists of the branching skeletons of animals, which live in colonies planted on the seabed at depths varying from tens to hundreds of meters. They are typical of warmish to very warm seas.

Banks of coral are found in the Mediterranean, along the coasts of China, Vietnam, and Japan; near the Philippines, along some of the many Pacific archipelagos; and along parts of the African coastline. Coral colonies occupy large areas especially in the Pacific, but also near coast of South Africa, in the Red Sea, and to the east of Australia. These latter colonies, however, consist of madrepore, which has little in common with the corals used as ornaments.


CRAZY LACE AGATE- This agate is named because of its intricately curved pattern resembling lace. Agate's chief component is silica (SiO2) and is from the quartz family. Agate and chalcedony are names given to a microscopically crystallized variety of quartz. Chalcedony is uniformly colored but agat has curved bands or zones of differing color. This agate has been tumbled and polished to show off its beautiful lace patterns. Organ Mexico.
