Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt a wonderful, unexplained, positive connection? Or maybe you were in the presence of a great, well-known personality and felt inspired or uplifted simply by being close to them.  Perhaps you have been fortunate enough to visit an ancient monument or site and felt a positive aura simply by sitting and contemplating.

In each of these scenarios, the energy you felt was almost electric. You felt so unbelievably good after the brief interaction.  Its amazing how the short intersection of two separate journeys could have such an affirming influence.

Now consider the journey of a gemstone.  It was formed deep in the earth millions of years ago and through the forces of nature and time, it makes its way closer to the surface of the earth where it can be found.  The energy that is stored in that tiny stone can be felt and harnessed simply by holding it your hand or carrying it in your pocket or purse.

Each gemstone has specific attributes based on its composition and age.  Each one is different in color, size, shape and energy.  Their positive energy can be yours to hold onto forever.
