Gems have intrigued humans for at least 10,000 years. The first known used for making jewelry, include crystals. These stones were reserveds for the wealthy, and served as status symbols. Rulers sealed documents with there jewel-encrusted seals. Such treasures can now be admired at many museums and treasure-valts. Today gems are worn not so much to demonstrate wealth, but rather jewelry is bough increasingly for pleasure, in appreciation of it’s beauty. Certainly, also today, when purchasing a gemstone, a certain love for a special stone is part of it. Formerly, when people were less scientifically knowledgeable, gems always had an aura of mystery, something almost spiritual. That’s why they were worn as amulets and talismans. Up to the present day, gemstones have sometimes been used as remedies against illnesses. They could be used in three different ways: the mere presence of a stone was sufficient to effect a cure the gem was placed on the afficited part of the body, or the stone was powdered and eaten. Presently, medical science is experiencing worldwide a revival of the ideas of the middle ages in the use of precious stones through the doctrines of the Esoterics.
