Which Gemstone Makes You Most Attractive?

Representing wildlife, the sea, and all natural living beings - the pearl is a wonder of the natural world. These beautiful gems take up to a decade to form, and - like you - only become more radiant with age. Many cultures consider pearls to give wisdom through age and experience, using their gestation within life itself as a powerful metaphor for keeping the spirit alive and young. Pearls serve as wonderful gifts and/or tokens of love - and also represent the safekeeping of loved ones (especially children and grandchildren). This precious gem is perfectly suited to your love and appreciation of family, and all of this earth's living creatures.

The brilliant coloration of opals is formed through a very unique process (originating as a silicate gel in most cases), bringing even more uniqueness to these priceless and enchanting gems. Like you, the multicolored opal is multi-faceted both in it's beauty and in its uses. Opals are considered to be THE gemstone for good luck by many ancient cultures, and are said to help with multi-tasking, something you find yourself doing often. The presence of a full color spectrum also makes them powerful visual healers - gazing into an opal can help calm and clear the mind of its owner, a very welcomed ability in the non-stop world you inhabit!

Perhaps THE gem with the most history associated with recorded civilization, the beauty of turquoise has been admired by humans for millennia. Associated with victory and perseverance, turquoise can be worn and used to bring prosperity to your spirit even when times are particularly hard. The unrivaled beauty of turquoise serves as a symbol of wealth in love, determination, and finances. You have had your fair share of hardships in life - but always manage to pull through. Turquoise perfectly encapsulates your strength of character and spirit through many of these trials, and if worn will help you to continue overcoming anything this world chooses to throw your way.

The striking red hues of the garnet encapsulate the relationships we share as human beings, and how to navigate and cultivate them successfully. Garnets are said to hold the key to both sides of the coin known as companionship. On one side, they strengthen the passion needed for any relationship to blossom. On the other side, they strengthen the honesty and loyalty also needed to sustain said relationships. As a person who flourishes within companionship and relationships, garnets can do much to help you continue to cultivate healthy and honest relationships with those you desire and love.

The most dense and durable of any gemstone, diamonds have come to represent anything and everything that is priceless to us in life - specifically generosity. The Greek word "adamas", meaning invincible or unconquerable, gave us the modern word for these tremendously valuable gems - and also gives us insight into their true power. For you, diamonds impart this very ancient strength and durability both physically and mentally when worn or used. Diamonds are, however, very unique in that their true "power" comes from generosity: The most powerful benefits of this gem are experienced in spades when it is given as a gift to those you care about, and will bestow as much if not more happiness upon you in giving than it does in the receiving for another. The diamond will mine even more generosity from your already generous soul - and improve your already strong character even moreso!

A rare gem found in volcanic lava, peridot's lovely natural green color is said to bring protection and purity. While modern culture associates the color green with greed and jealously - nature's most prominent color should instead be seen as a gateway into the purity and healing powers of the natural world. This is what peridot represents for you - a healing stone that instead was considered by ancient cultures to protect against and purify its wearer from greed, jealously, and worry - not enhance it. For you, peridot can help balance out unwanted qualities while enhancing the many positive aspects of your personality - bringing you that much closer to your natural state!
