“We are the stuff of stars,” the late astronomer Carl Sagan once said. Our earth was formed from basic elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen that were originally synthesized in the molten interior of stars. The explosion of stars scattered these basic elements into space, forming the basis not only of the structure of our planet earth, with its minerals and gems, but also of the earth's ecosphere and human life.
Gems are as old as our planet. Their crystalline structure, formed under extreme temperature and pressure, is inherently orderly and imbues gems with their beauty, brilliance, purity, and longevity.
The effects of this program appear to be based on the inherent orderly structure of gems, which is posited to resonate with the intelligence and orderliness of our human nervous system. It is the specific molecular composition and orderly crystalline structure of these gemstones that endow them with balancing effects on the human physiology.
Trace Elements and Color
Ruby red. Emerald green. Sapphire yellow. What makes gems so colorful? The answer is found in the trace elements they contain. Trace elements produce the color and quality of gems, and the frequency of light unique to each type of gem. For instance, the golden sapphire is made of aluminum oxide, but it’s the presence of iron that creates its distinct yellow color and corresponding frequency of light. Without trace elements, all gems would be essentially colorless.
