The effect of stones on our mood


In ancient times, as much in the western as in the eastern world, precious and semi-precious stones were used not only in jewelry, but also as good luck charms and magic talismans. Some stones, such as turquoise, coral or eye of the tiger were famous for their protective action against bad luck and negative energy.

In every ancient civilization, stones were used as medical elements. The powder of malachite, for instance, was known for curing allergies, while, according to Hippocrates, the lapis was a stone to be used for the cure of skin conditions. If one researches the properties of precious stones, he will discover than each mineral has specific elements that affect the human body.

Today, scientists know that the unique “abilities” of minerals are due to their natural properties, and not to supernatural powers, as it was believed in the older times. In a few words, the effect of stones on our psychology is a matter of electromagnetic force, which, while flowing through areas of our body, functions as an enhancer. The stones turn into transmitters of pulsatory electromagnetic waves, thus enhancing the activation of our cellular functions.

Even if the fact that stones can bring us good luck of bad luck is just a myth, it is a proved fact that some precious or semi precious stones can play a positive role in boosting our organism and psychological mood.
