Since ancient times colored stones have been thought to possess certain magical and curative powers, and endow
the wearer with certain abilities. For example, when a man wore a red stone, it was believed to indicate
command, nobility, lordship and vengeance. When worn by a woman, the red stone indicated pride, obstinacy,
and haughtiness. Colored gemstones achieved extensive use as talismans and amulets because of the magical
powers associated with them. They were used as predictors of the future, therapeutic aids, and essential
elements to many religious practices for pagan, Hebrew, and Christian alike.
