 Emeralds, Birthstone for May:
Emerald is in the beryl family along with blue aquamarine, gold heliodor, and pink morganite. There is also a very rare red form of beryl found in the USA. It is a hard gem with a rating of 8 on a scale of 10. It is very durable when internal flaws don't compromise the structure. This family of gems all contain the rare earth beryllium which is a main reason for their rarity.
Send me an email if you are interested in learning more about this group of gemstones.
Metaphysical Properties - 4th chakra, augments all Heart energies. This gemstone enhances feelings of love and kindness. It is linked somewhat with masculine aspects of tenderness. Emerald also may calm the mind so that we can be more aware of subtle energies.

 Tanzanite:
Tanzanite is an exceptionally rare and beautiful gem found only in Tanzania. One of it's optical properties, trichroism, is particularly unusual. As you turn the untreated rough in your hand it changes from blue to purple to gold. The gems to be cut are usually oriented to have purest blue color uppermost. Then the facets of the finished gem reflect and refract the secondary colors amidst the blue body color adding a bit more mystery to this entity.
The crystals of this gem are rare but sometimes I can get them for you. There is also a rare green form that I have only in small rough pieces at present.
Unlike other gems that are found all over the world, this stone may become unavailable if current mines stop production.
Metaphysical Energies - 6th chakra, symbolizes the highest mineral expression of peace on Earth. Tanzanite is said to help raise individual vibrations to the pinnacle of brotherly love. It's energy is closely linked to Dolphin Energy.

 Precious
Topaz, Birthstone for November:
Topaz is harder (8 on a scale of 10) than most gemstones and comes in a number of colors - white, blue,
green, yellow, champagne, gold, orange, pink and even a rare red from old Russia. The blues and probably the greens are mostly irradiated and heat treated from white rough although a few of these colors were natural. Most of the finest gems today come from Brazil (see photo), although the largest champagne oval is from Mexico.
Topaz crystals (non-gem grade) are among the largest ever found. Some have weighed several tons. I believe only quartz crystals occasionally match these behemoths.
Metaphysical Properties - 3rd & 7th chakras, helps fine tune the digestive
system and therefore increases the assimilation of nutrients and production of energy. Combining this with the effect on the solar plexus will-center, Topaz may facilitate right action. Topaz also augments the energy formation in the 3rd chakra destined to be sent up to the 4th, the heart chakra - so it has an important relationship to the propensity of love in all it's forms.
The following stones are pictured above - many others are in stock:
- .40 to .70ct.-Long Ovals - Imperial Orange - $40 to $70.
- .53ct.- Round - Imperial Peach - $159.00

Blue Zircon,
Birthstone for December:
Zircon is a natural gemstone (not Zirconia) which has an high refractive index and therefore is very brilliant when cut correctly. It comes in various shades of
blue, greenish blue, orange, red, pink, and white (and a few others that are rare).
It is not as hard as sapphire and ruby and is best set in earrings, pendants, and protective ring mountings.
Metaphysical Properties - 5th chakra, aids communication skills, stimulates
spiritual knowing, and provides emotional protection. Zircon in various colors may help an individual become a truly independent force.
The following stones are pictured above - many others are in stock:
- .60ct.- 5mm. Round - 90.00
- 2.51ct. - 7x10mm. Pear Shape, Dark Med. Blue - $325.00

 Tourmaline,
Birthstone for October (pink form):
Tourmaline is in the
silicate family and is one of the most chemically complex and
diverse of all the gemstones. This means great fun for
collectors who can build collections of dozens of different colors
and shades of one gem. I like to build sets of different
colors in the same size and shape - mostly rounds. We have
hundreds of finished tourmalines in nearly all sizes, shapes and
colors.
Many of these come
from Brazil but tourmaline is found all over the world. Two of the
most famous North American sources are in Pala, Ca. and Newburg,
Maine.
Metaphysical
Properties - Both green and pink to lavender tourmaline are
4th chakra gems or heart gems. When worn (especially as a
pendant - close to the heart) they enhance the heart energies
to help open the heart chakra to give and receive more nurturing
awareness. Both colors have a healing vibration that may
be directed at any physical or mental infirmity. The green
color represents the sacred male energy; the pink shades represent
the sacred female energy. When these two colors occur in the
same stone as in rare bicolor and watermelon tourmaline, the
wonderful balance that results is said to be especially
powerful. These subtle energies also lend energy upward to the 5th
and 6th chakras resulting in the desire for more loving
communication and stimulating the sometimes elusive inner
vision.
Green
tourmaline has a vibrational connection to the plant kingdom too
and may aid a gardeners green thumb.
