Exquisite, Stylish, Hand-Crafted Astral Stone Jewelry
Astral Stone Jewelry: The ancients attributed a variety of properties and magical powers to colored gemstones. For instance, Jade was thought to cool a fever and black jet was thought to be a sign of great sorrow. Because these attributes could not be explained, astrologers turned to the heavens for answers. Traditional astral stones come mostly from the early Hindu beliefs, while others come from a variety of traditions. For further information on the history and physical characteristics of gemstones in general and astral stone jewelry in particular, we suggest you visit the authoritative website of The Gemological Institute of America (the "GIA").
