Opal comes in a variety of colors. Common Opal, Precious White Opal, Blue Opal, Black Opal, Fire Opal and Pink Opal. Common Opal does not have the “fire” of color that we see in the other Opals, but it is emotionally supportive and nurturing. Precious White Opal is the one most commonly found in jewelry. Robert Simmons says White Precious Opal carries the “seed of the Holy Fire“, with intense spiritual energy, amplifying emotions good or bad. When it amplifies negative emotions, we can learn the cost of negative emotions and release them.
Black Precious Opal is of magic and mystery. It magnifies intention. It can release traumas from past lives for healing and clear the mind in meditation.
Fire Opal is for passion and creativity, the 2nd chakra.
Sapphire comes in a variety of colors–blue, white, black, yellow and green. My favorite is blue. Virgo’s birthstone, it can bring peace and joy and freedom of unwanted thoughts. Virgo, ruled by Mercury, can have many unwanted thoughts. Blue Sapphire is said to hold the records of development of civilization and provides a connection with the intuitive and psychic realms. These stones are said to have been given to us from benevolent Earth-Keepers who wanted to assist us in learning to live in kindness, compassion and appreciation and for healing the Earth herself. It promotes cleansing of the Earth’s atmosphere and transmuting negative energy. (Melody, “Love is in the Earth”, p 586.). Blue Sapphire is said to give mental focus, clarity, and can aid in communicating one’s vision. It works on the Throat and Third Eye Chakras, is good for tranmistting one’s highest wisdom. It brings loyalty and fidelity in love relationships. (“The Book of Stones”, p. 340)

July’s Birthstone is the Ruby. It is corundum with a color range from pink, crimson red to orange red.
It is a heart chakra stone and encourages the stimulation of the loving emotional side toward nurturing. It has been used to stabilize one’s economic status and helps one to follow bliss! This could be a very good stone for the many who have suffered these harder economic times by losing a job. It could help in finding an authentic life expression, doing what you love and perhaps beginning a new fulfilling venture! “It can assist one in changing one’s world, promoting creativity and expansiveness in awareness and manifestation!” (Melody, “Love is in the Earth“, p. 573.
If you are interested in owning a raw, extremely beautiful ruby consider the Almadine Garnet, a naturally occuring gemstone in dodecahedron form. It is one of my favorite stones in my own crystal healing bundle…. It almost looks black but taken into the light you see the ruby flecks. It is heavy too. If you are interested in getting one of these, please write to me and I can provide one to you. This might be the perfect stone to create that new authentic life expression catapulting you into financial success.

Attributes of Emerald (Beryl)
Emerald is known as a “stone of successful love”. It is said to provide both sensitivity and loyalty to domestic bliss. It can enhance memory and combines intelligence with discernment necessary for right action. It can open and activate the Heart Chakra and quiet emotions. It brings harmony to all areas in one’s life. It inspires positive actions, and c
entered practicality in one’s life work. It brings forth unconscious patterns into reflective awareness. Therefore, it is beneficial to the meditative state. It is said to bring beneficial outcomes involving legal affairs. It can be used in treatments of the spine, lungs, heart and muscular system as well as to soothe the eyes. Emerald is a form of beryl and as a crystal, it is prismatic, sometimes vertically striated and characterized by small pyramid-like faces.
(All information on Emerald’s attributes is from Melody’s Love is in The Earth, 1995).
Genuine vs. Lab Created Gems
As mentioned before gemstones have properties that imbue electromagnetic fields and like mentioned above particular attributes that help support our physical and our subtle bodies. Because they are crystals many believe that they are considered as being alive. Certainly they grow and have been formed through the interactions of natural forces. They are excellent conductors of electromagnetic energies, can be programmed. It is also true that lab-created gemstones carry the same crystalline matrix but it is my opinion that they are not living because of the fact that they were created and can be considered a clone of an original crystalline matrix. But because these lab created gemstones did not interact with natural forces and tend to “grow” naturally from their parent crystals, they also do not hold the energies inherent to the natural stone. Therefore, I have made a decision to only offer genuine gemstones and other healing stones rather than lab created gemstones. While I think lab created stones are truly beautiful and it is true they could produce an electromagnetic field, their energies are not as concentrated due to their formation process. Maybe they could be programmed but I do not think they would be able to hold their programming for long, whereas the true gemstone inherently has that capability and is therefore more reliable for this programming integrity and its healing properties.
