gemstones…?
Does anyone wear -
- garnite,
- green tourmaline,
- sardonyx
If so, did it work for you? what benefits did you notice? I read about these 3 stones, but want to gather some info first hand before I buy any of these. Your input will help.
Garnet comes in many varieties. Uvarovite from the chromite deposits of the Ural Mountains is emerald green, harder than tourmaline and lacks the basal cleavage of emerald making it a vastly superior jewel. Pyrope, also a variety of garnet known as Cape Ruby when deep red in colour or Rhodolite when purple is much prized when the quality is high. There are also the brownish-red Almandite, green Demantoid Andradite, colourless Grossular, and translucent brown Spessartine varieties of garnet. Of all the garnet varieties, andradite can come in the greatest variety of colours.
Green Tourmaline, known as Brazilian Emerald is quite valuable in high quality – which sadly is very rare. Tourmaline Crystals are triclinic and can have a number of colours along their length.
Sardonyx is what cameos were once made from – in alternating brown and off-white layers that can be cut in pairs and carved into the classic cameo.
What you get from a gemstone depends a great deal on you and your personality. The benefit I get as an INTP, from gazing into the rich nickel ion green lustre of chrysoprase is very different from what an ISFP would get from the same stone. Also, the preferred method of obtaining benefit varies from personality to personality. An ISFP benefits more from just wearing the stone than looking at it, whereas someone like myself enjoys more the look and feel of both rough and cut gems. For me, a setting ruins a perfectly good diamond, and a cut & polish ruin the texture of any chalcedony-based gemstone!
Everyone is different and responds in different ways. Patterns of response common to groups within populations were documented by the Greeks and then the Sufis (Enneagram – I’d recommend Helen Palmer’s work on this motive-based system).
One of the more popular means of generalising personality is the vector based Myer-Briggs system. I’ve documented a couple of references below, however, further reading into some of Gulenko’s work is most definitely an eye-opener.
My point is that you’ll gain more insight into the benefits different people get from gemstones by understanding something of the diversity of human personality.
Good luck…
