Gem Notes
What do the gems mean? First and foremost, I believe we are drawn to the stones that innately hold meaning for us or resonate with an energy we need. Sometimes it's as simple as they're gorgeous, and we need that! However, there can indeed be more to it. Accordingly, below is a small list of what many have ascribed to various gemstones. However, don't let this limit you, and go with what you feel!
