Jewels, also known as gemstones and crystals, have always been a source of wonder, envy and desire to mankind. This love of jewels transcends gender, race and religion. They have been symbols of power, prestige and protection throughout the ages. Why do we covet them so much? Is it just their beauty and the status and power they represent or is it their ability to connect and heal us on another level?
