Gemstones, Color, and Mystical
Symbolism
By Sam Serio Platinum Quality Author
The universe of colored gemstones is endlessly fascinating, for
centuries, nearly every culture has held the belief that colored
stones possess magical powers or the ability to endow the wearer
with certain attributes. Due to the magical powers associated with
colored gems, they were used extensively as amulets and talismans,
portals to the future; and as important components to many spiritual
practices.
* Yellow stones when worn by a woman
were a sign of generosity. Worn by a man, a yellow stone signaled
secrecy (as with a secret lover).
* A violet stone worn by a woman indicated
lofty thoughts and love of a spiritual nature. For a man, sober
judgment, steadfastness, and ambition.
* Black stones revealed foolishness and capriciousness in young
women, while in married women it showed fidelity, constant love
and perseverance. A man wearing a black stone exhibited gravity,
common sense, constancy, and inner strength.
* Red stones when worn by a women
indicated pride, haughtiness, and obstinacy. On a man nobility,
command, leadership and vengeance.
* Blue stones on a woman exposed
jealousy in love, vigilance and social correctness. A man wearing
blue stones meant wisdom, lofty thoughts and generosity.
* Green stones for a woman meant unfounded
ambition, childish delight, and change. Green stones for a man meant
joy, lost friendship, and transitory hope.
In our modern world, gemstones are worn primarily for their inherent
beauty. An almost endless choice of colors are available.
* Red- rubies, garnets, red tourmalines,
red diamonds and spinels. * Blue- topaz,
blue tourmaline, blue spinel, tanzanite, iolite and even blue diamonds.
* Green- emeralds, green garnet (tsavorite)
green tourmalines, peridots, green zirconia and diamonds …and
so on
Today the possibilities for self-expression with colored stones
are seemingly endless with choices in every price range and for
every taste. Whether for fashion, fun or to express your inner feelings,
everyone should enjoy the bounty of colorful stones that nature
has provided.
