Garnet- Birthstone for January
Vibrant, rich, red. Those words describe January’s birthstone: Red Garnet. Garnets are found in many colors including red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, brown, black, pink and colorless. The rarest of these is the blue Garnet. The Red Garnet is the most common and known as the birthstone for January as adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912. Garnets were used ever since the Bronze Age. They were used in Ancient Egypt. They were also found in ancient Greece and Roman civilizations. Even today, Garnets are still a popular and much loved gemstone.
Garnets are known as a feminine energy stone. Over my 20 plus years of selling stones, I have witnessed over and over the strong appeal Garnet holds for women. Some women just seemed drawn to its feminine energies and find it difficult to wear any other stone but Garnet!
Garnet stimulates the Root Chakra and the Heart Chakra, making it a useful stone to bring your heartfelt desires into the world. >> Continue reading

Peridot for Well Being
I love Peridot. Maybe because it is my birthstone. Peridot is the birthstone for August. But I didn’t always love it. I can remember as a kid getting the yellow green stone for my birthday and wishing my birthstone was more exciting, like maybe the rich color of purple Amethyst or bright shiny Diamond. It wasn’t until I was much older that my appreciation for Peridot took hold. Once I discovered its subtle energies I was won over.
Peridot has a long history of uses. The Egyptians made Peridot beads 2,500 years ago. It was also used to make rings and other jewelry. In Greece and Rome Peridot is considered a stone of royalty. Since ancient times Peridot was viewed as a symbol of the sun. Sometimes it was worn as a protection stone. Peridot was believed to bring wealth to the wearer.
For me these green gemstones represent pure positive feelings of well being. Whenever I am the slightest bit down if I hold or wear Peridot, I can feel my sense of well being return. This stone uplifts me. Its energies always bring a smile to my face and lightens my load. It is a bright sunny gemstone eager to assist. It is a stone that can warm and open the heart. We all feel better when we open our heart to all the goodness that exists. Its a reminder for me of all the good in my life.
Peridot’s vibration can bring an inner sense of warmth and well being, like sunshine on a spring day. >> Continue reading
