I collect gemstones, only I buy them instead because I’m not a good searcher:
I only know about amethyst:
Amethyst is the official birthstone for February as adopted by the American National Association of Jewelers in 1912. It is also the birth stone for the Zodiac sign of Pisces. Amethyst is suggested as a gem to give on the 4th, 6th and 17th wedding anniversaries.

Amethyst is the purple variety of quartz and the most valued member of the quartz family. It must be purple to be amethyst, but it can display a range of shades including deep purple, light lilac, lavender and mauve.

Top quality amethyst is a deep medium purple with rose-colored flashes. Its purple color made it a stone of royalty for many thousands of years.

Amethyst can occur as crystals that are six sided on either end. It also forms as drusy which are crystalline crusts covering the host rock. It is found inside geodes and in alluvial deposits all around the world and occurs in both crystalline or massive forms. When manganese is present in clear quartz amethyst is produced, while the amount of iron contained in the specimen accounts for the depth of purple.

Most amethyst gemstones on the market today are heat-treated to produce a deeper color. Heat treating is permanent and these stones will not fade over time. Unless otherwise stated, assume that any amethyst you purchase today has been heat treated to increase the depth of color. Also, note that most citrine available on the market today is actually heat treated amethyst.

Well, it’s not as simple as that… Good luck is a convergence of opportunity and action. The energies of particular stones could enhance your own personal energy, allowing your prayers, wishes etc. ( basically your direction of your energies) To be very effective in seeking out and acting upon opportunities that come your way. They are a tool, not a cure-all.

I have read, that when you loose a stone, it is then meant for someone else to have. It doesn’t make you feel any better I’m sure especially if you loved the stone, but that is what they say it means.

About ten years ago, I borrowed my Moms 5 ct. Blue sapphire ring, and when I got back from dinner with my husband, I looked down at my ring, and said “Oh No” the Sapphire was gone, it fell out of the prongs, and we looked everywhere and never found it!

In fact, I just lost a 6 ct. Lab created alexandrite last week, and I don’t think I will ever find it.

I even lost a Ceylon sapphire as well once, and that really made me sick! Im sorry you lost your stone, maybe you will find it or get another one. Good Luck!

Suzi Q answers:

There is a lot of people who believe and have proved that gems, can help us in different ways. It is not like, wow my horoscope says my stone is rubi and you buy it… It is way more complex, many of the stones that are used to heal are used because of their color.

It has been proven that the colors have a strong influence on our mood. Some other stones such as quartz are believed to regulate the bodies energy. My mom knows a lot about that, I don´t… But one thing I do remember is that any gem you are using with a healing purpose you have to have a big one. I don´t know about the moonlight stone, but if you really want it for that menstrual symptoms, get a big one.

If it works or not, you´ll make your own decision. Don’t take nasty answers personal, some people take their role at Y! Very seriously 😉 Also check the info about the Moldavite…. Who knows!

Suzi Q answers:

It means that you are very confused, otherwise you would not have written in. Are you working? Is everything ok at work? Is your job a gift from God (a blessing?).

Are you worried about your luck (future?). What is your money situation like? Perhaps their just jewels? But they are colourful, there’s a chain, and a gold locket: hard substances, colourful, consisting of specific materials. What has happened lately?

There is no way of sorting out who gave you what present. It is best to let the situation drop, after this with your own brief examination, of facts, because different interpretations will drive you nutty, which is why I am dealing with facts. You are the only person who can interpret the dream and if God is trying to tell you something, He will keep persisting. Thank god for all good things, and pray about anything!
