Different stones are believed to hold different vibrations. The mystics, healers and wise ones of all the ages have used gems and crystals for healing and as talisman.
If you are interested in healing and in developing your business using gems and minerals for this purpose, it is useful to understand some basic principles about the power of thoughts, the importance of quieting the mind, and the great value of being able to tap into "right brain hemisphere" - creative, nonlinear thinking.

This, in addition to being familiar with the metaphysical properties of stones, will add depth to the piece you create for your client.
The principle I am attempting to convey is similar to the principle that is applied when someone uses a special "good luck charm". Does this object have some power in and of itself? An interesting question.
Amethyst and pearl necklace
by Joan Kaplan
Intention is a very powerful force in the universe.
Objects will take on the power and meaning that we assign to them. Therefore, if we want to create a piece of jewelry for a person that is intended to have healing qualities and power for them, we want to put our conscious intention into the creation of the piece and help reinforce this by setting this very clear intention with our client.

An effective way to do this is to actually have your client hold the stones in their hands and state aloud what these stones and this piece of jewelry are to symbolically represent.
Ritual and ceremony hold a very important place in our human world and give purpose, depth and meaning to ideals and experiences which cannot be described in a linear way.
Adding the dimension of personal meaning to your creations will be very appealing to your clients.
