Color is an important element in each of our lives.  While what we wear doesn’t tell everything about us, it does say something.  The colors we gravitate towards can reveal details about us, our desires and our needs.

 

For many centuries, it has been believed that colored gemstones have powers that can be used to transform our energies when we wear them.  This natural remedy was embraced by the ancient Egyptians and is becoming more popular in today’s culture.  While each stone carries its own unique vibrations, the color of the stone also factors in its healing and therapeutic properties.

 

Red (garnets & rubies) the warmest color, symbolizes vitality, confidence and a willingness to take action.  A red stone should be worn by anyone looking to increase their courage as the color red provides strength and increased energy and confidence.

 

Yellow (citrine) is the color of happiness and joy.  Wearing yellow will create an atmosphere of creativity, wisdom and energy while providing relief from depression and fatigue while dispersing anger.

 

Blue (sapphire) is both cool and pleasant and carries a vibration of peace and truth.  This color has a soothing effect that promotes relaxation and a peaceful mood while helping one cope with daily stressors.

 

Green (emerald) has long been associated with life and finances.  Wearing a green gemstone will promote a feeling of well-being and wealth and promote positive financial growth.

 

Purple (amethyst) is the color of inspiration and imagination.  The vibrations of this color will enhance good judgment and meditation.  Wearing purple gemstones will also sharpen your imagination and self awareness.

 

Orange (carnelian) gemstones encourage endurance, creativity and playfulness.  This is an excellent color to wear if you are feeling overworked, tense and anxious.  Orange gemstones also work to increase self-esteem.

 

While the effects may initially be subtle, wearing a particular gemstone can have an uplifting effect on your life and help influences changes in mental health, wealth and personal growth.  If you are unsure of which stone to wear, relax and let your intuition be your guide!
