Understanding the meanings of gemstones

If you’ve been around these parts before, you’d know about my love of gemstones and their healing powers.

Whether you believe in it or not, gemstones are more than just their beauty.  They also hold healing powers, special meanings, and spiritual aspects.

Gemstones have been used throughout history as tokens to keep bad spirits away, bring good luck, maintain positive energy, attract love and romance, plus more. Each gemstone embodies its own unique energy that creates a healing force and therapeutic effects.

If you’re searching for a gift that brings both a smile and healing vibes, there are many options in the Desiderate online store.
