established in precision instruments (Diamond and Ruby) and even in beauty products (Pearl).
tension between them that is often expressed as the desire for connection, whether with self or
others. This desire for connection is a search for the solution to the tensions between these
natural worldly and emancipated thoughts. In Diamond, for example, it is the desire to connect
with perfection versus the stress of doing so, without understanding that it involves a process
and the need for loving oneself. In Sapphire, the tension is between survival instincts and the
maintenance of ones caring humanity.
Familial alignments
Gems are geometrically aligned minerals. Elements in compound form act on relationships. In
gems, there is a seamless and orderly bonding between the atoms which comprise them. This
relates to the integrity of our personal relationships and particularly to families. The most
common elements in the gems are Aluminium and Silicon, which are pivotal in series 3
elements and the formation of relationships. We see from clinical experience and provings
that the gems have an unusual power to align familial structures that have broken down
or are dysfunctional. Amethyst, Golden topaz, Lapis lazuli, Black opal, and Ruby have been
outstanding in this regard in clinical and proving settings.
Yin and yang
Many crystals are the result of the resolution of powerful elemental forces that appear
irreconcilable. Yin and yang, light and dark, good and evil, male and female, life and death, fire
and water, love and hate, confusion and order are all recurrent themes of the gems. There is a
distinct current of consciousness grappling with the larger issues related to these forces, not
unlike the forces of nature that are aligned to produce these marvellous substances. For
example, fundamental male/female issues are largely dealt with in Emerald and Ruby, love and
hate in Amethyst, and life and death in Diamond.
Crystallized belief systems into the Light
When talking to a gem-cutter about a beautiful red zircon I had cut, we were admiring its
magical beauty and he commented and it will only last you 400,000 years! Gems are old,
really old and are indicated for the oldest and most solidified of belief systems. Those beliefs
about race, religion, sexuality, and the nature of human existence are particularly at stake.
Sapphire, Black opal, and Lapis are the outstanding remedies for gaining a new perspective but
many of the gems generate a powerful change in consciousness and perspective. Have you
ever heard of the phrase he has got rocks in his head?
Ego and exclusive rights
The words rare, precious, special, and valuable are all attributed to the gems. They were
originally mostly reserved for the upper classes and nobility. People have always sought to have
exclusive rights over a gem because it is such a valuable, prized, and revered object, or
because of their implications with money and power. This lands them in the realms of inflated
ego, whereas in the positive it is about giving credit, benefit or power where it is due, where it
will be appreciated and used to good effect. Diamond is the pre-eminent ego destroyer and
other gems, particularly Ruby and Sapphire, are able to topple powerful egocentrics.
Transformation and alchemy
The production of gemstones is an alchemic/transformational process in itself. Dull and ordinary
rocks are heated, brought together, and subjected to stupendous heat and pressure within the
crucible of the Earth, during which time they are purified and transformed into a structure of
lasting beauty that is able to receive light and express it with its own characteristic virtues. The
conscious desire for transformation is a fundamental theme in Black opal. The change from
negative to a positive focus by destruction of the ego in Diamond is perceived as a
transformation. The will to transform is implicated in the Diamond state: dreaming of body
Gemstones
Abuse, betrayal, violence, and protection: This set of characteristics is particularly prevalent
in the gems. They relate to the story of gems which, because of their rarity, value and beauty
naturally induce desire, lust, and violence. They are about extreme passions and obsessions.
This is particularly evident in the gems Diamond, Sapphire, and Ruby.
Beauty: search for beauty and perfection is a theme of the gems.
Boundaries and light: A crystal can be described as a solid body bounded by plane surfaces
or faces, which are an external expression of a geometrical arrangement of atoms. Amethyst,
Black opal, and Quartz crystal all have definite issues with boundaries. This theme also conveys
the power of individuation, the development of a persona which is decidedly unique and
valuable, even eccentric.
Faith: The gems work at this level, evoking faith in self, faith in ones own abilities, faith in ones
relationship to spouse or family, faith in a Higher Power. A crisis of faith commonly calls for the
prescription of a gem.
Geometry, order, and structure: Geometric images were particularly prevalent in Sapphire,
Amethyst, and Diamond. Ruby, Quartz, and Diamond are outstanding for the need for precision
and order.
Heat, pressure, and passion: in the hard gems, which are produced under enormous heat and
pressure far below the earths surface or are metamorphosed due to the movement of
continental plates a sense that the heat is on, pressure is high, and intense passion are
evident themes. This is particularly true of Ruby and Diamond.
Imagery and symbolism: Some images common to the gems appear in many provings:
Animals feature strongly as symbols of essential instinctual impulses related to violence,
sexuality or control.
Giving birth and babies relates to the birth of new or renewed consciousness and concurrent
death of the old. It is particularly prevalent in Diamond, Ruby and Lapis. Faeces and toilets
correspond to expelling incumbent and unwanted feelings and thoughts.
Flower imagery often refers to the colourful blossoming of feelings, love or expression through
various gems.
Volcanoes with obvious affinity to their origins associated with heat, pressure, and the eruptive
quality of emotions and expressions associated with many gems.
Gods, saints, masters and holy men indicate the spiritual, universal aspect of self, the inner
being.
Spinning force or machine appears in a number of medicines.
Spiralling force relates to the generation of energy on the deepest levels in the human system;
the chakras.
Sun and Moon are symbolic of the essential egoc self the essential feeling self and feature
very prominently in the medicines.
Intellect and memory/focus and concentration: Since internal order is the natural signature
of all gems, it can be easily understood that they have a great power over the ordered
intellectual processes, clear thinking, rationality, and memory. The gems often enhance focus
and concentration.
Out of the body grounded: Gems are minerals of high specific gravity but transmit light,
which is the finest of substances. Accordingly, those who need the gems are often very material
and grounded, or very etheric, or they alternate between the two.
Elemental affinities: The gems include elements from series 1 to 3 and there are strong
Gemstones
affinities. Diamond is an obvious one with its issues about self-worth (series 2) and with its
accent on independence, balance, fixity and sense of self (stage 10). Many gemstones,
especially the precious ones, have inclusions of series 4 metals: eg Sapphire includes titanium
and iron. Many of the themes of this series of metals are evident in these gemstones: control;
being put to the test; order and task.
Colour: the use of the symptom of colour choice, as expounded by Ulrich Welte in Colors in
Homeopathy, is a veritable sword of clarity for choosing the right gem for an individual; the
gems are often deeply characterised by colour choice. (see information on individual gems
below)
SPIRITUAL DIMENSIONS
The fact that gems are transmuted substances themselves infers their inherent ability to express
a state of transcendence, qualities that are vastly greater than the sum of their constituents.
This of course corresponds to their interaction with humanity: in Ruby, he is so human (in his
compassion) he is more than human; in Pearl, he reaches a transcendent state of realization
through emotional rectification so that he becomes like a serene swan sitting on a perfectly still
lake; in Diamond, through a mental purification and rectification he reaches a state of absolute
clarity about his own nature and its value in spiritual and human terms.
There is often a strong sense of spirituality in those who need the gems. For some they need a
spiritual perspective on everything they do: they may be focused on a spiritually centered
activity like healing; they might be channelling energies and spiritual healing or need crystals
around themselves. Often, they have very strong spiritual goals. I find there is commonly a
conscious search for a spiritual (higher or more universal) virtue or experience as a fundamental
focus of their life.
Spiritual vs material
The gems are indicated for those who sense a strong separation or tension between their
spiritual and material desires or worlds. This is often expressed as a struggle between good and
evil; Christ (or other spiritual ideal) and the devil; between egoic self and Higher Self; between
worldly desire and renunciation. An excellent example is seen in Golden topaz in the choice
between the world of material trappings and the renunciation of these, in order to find the inner
self.
Christ, the cross, and crucifixion
Christ, the cross and crucifixion appear many times in these provings. These medicines are
definitely not exclusively for Christians and many other religions have been alluded to in the
provings. The reason Christs experience is most powerfully alluded to is clearly because of its
inherent symbolism of renunciation, suffering, and death; it is an indicator of transcendence
through suffering. This suffering relates to purging the small or egoic sense of self in terms of
material, emotional or mental desires and needs, as opposed to higher ideals that are for the
good of all, the all-encompassing spirit, and the Higher Self. The person needing the gems may
be carrying a cross in her life; being crucified for beliefs or principles; suffering a personal test
or being crucified by his own ideals or mission.
Sixth sense, energy awareness, and healing
The gems have long been associated with the supernatural power to protect against misfortune,
illness or danger, to act as an oracle (as the stones in the Breastplate of judgement of the
ancient Jews), and have long been used as talismans by many cultures. Paranormal faculties
are often relevant for individuals who use these remedies, be it before their prescription or as a
result of their action. During the proving of Diamond and other medicines various abilities were
developed, including clairvoyance, awareness of bodily energy fields, and the ability to see
Gemstones
auras. These finer faculties are developed by the field of the gem in much the same way as a
magnet induces a magnetic field by its molecular alignment.
Religion and renunciation: The gems enhance the experience of spirituality regardless of
whether it is tied to a set of orthodox religious practices, an innate sense of spirituality or in
those who are consciously travelling an inner mystic path of expanding consciousness. The idea
of religious renunciation, giving up material desires for spiritual ends, is very strong in the gems.
They are indicated for anyone who is sincerely working with this principle whether through diet,
relationship, money, possessions, thoughts or feelings. This theme is particularly strong in
Golden topaz.
Meditation: Most of the gems are particularly useful in meditation, though for differing aspects
of it, for instance Diamond is outstanding for stillness and great depth in meditation, erasing
thoughts and transcending the self to find the inner light.
Chakras: Experience of the chakras has been an integral theme of working with the gems. All
the gems were experienced in this way by one or other prover, whether in meditation or not. The
gems are light transmitters and the first place of fixing the inner light is in the chakras, the primal
energy centres of the body along the spine. The details can be found in Twelve jewels.
PHYSICAL INDICATIONS
The gem medicines, arising from the combinations of many elements, are indicated for a vast
range of conditions. It has been noted, however, that they showed an unusually strong action on
heart and head, on the special senses, and on energisation of the whole system. More details
can be found in Twelve jewels and under the specific proving indications for each gem.
Golden Topaz immersion is made from the gem often called Imperial topaz. It has a deep
golden or even amber colour. It is indicated for those whose lives are locked up from fear, shock
or loss in the past. This often leads to depression, negativity or being out of the body and not in
this world. Once these scars of the past are released, there is energised enthusiasm, a personal
renewal, and a love of life is actuated. Because of its ability to clear away the past, it is excellent
for creating positive relationship and communication in a family, where there was previously
dysfunction and lack of communication. Spiritually, it is for letting go of the world and its trapping
and allowing you to make the pilgrimage within. It is the stone for spiritual retreats. It develops
devotional love; opening the heart to the divine. Physical: energises, strengthens, and produces
steadiness on the feet. It has an action on the liver and lower abdomen. Colour association:
golden yellow 3C.
Morion immersion is made from the variety of quartz crystal that is black but is transparent on
holding it to the light. It is a remarkable medicine for those who are hindered in their life by past
events, tainted memories and feelings that have been left on the refuse heap of the
unconscious mind. It is often related to physical or emotional abuse, where the feelings and
memories are suppressed. These people are trapped in the darkness of their past. The release
of the memories is often cathartic and intense yet leads to resolution and reconciliation.
Physically: this medicine works on the lower bowel and urinary system. Colour association:
Black.
Rhodonite immersion is composed manganese silicate and the material used in the
preparation is from New South Wales, Australia. It is the medicine for those who desire wealth
but are too selfish and aggressive in seeking it. For these people, a sense of generosity and
self-sacrifice is developed. Others who need it may be doing all the right things in life but are
unable to save or get ahead in a material way. For them, it opens the flow to abundance.
Spiritually, it is indicated for compassion, selflessness, and the suffering for your beliefs or the
greater good. Physically, it is a great energiser. It is indicated for physical trauma, much like
Arnica montana. Colour association: pinkish red and black.

Amethyst immersion is made from a strong purple variety of Amethyst. This substance is
crystallised silicon dioxide. It is now believed that structural anomalies produce its characteristic
colour. It is for those who are oversensitive and who easily pick up the feelings of others to their
detriment. It opens the heart to unconditional love for all. It is an excellent medicine for addictive
tendencies, especially alcoholism. It is a useful medicine for ailments of the respiratory tract,
including asthma and sinusitis. It is often indicated where Phosphorus has already benefited the

Hardest gemstone besides Diamond, hard quality
Ruby immersion is indicated for those who are suffering from the burden of responsibility in the
form of a mission. They tend to take on their life work in a religious way, forsaking the softer
and more human aspects of their being to complete their task. This results in too much
masculine or yang energy in their lives, a wounding of their feminine side. In some situations,
there is focus on money and power with a loss of heart felt feeling. All these states are resolved
by Ruby immersion and a wonderful attunement of heart will come into play. Physically, it acts
on the cardio-vascular system and is indicated for palpitations, heart disease, and easy
hemorrhages. It also has a specific action on the shoulders and head injuries. Colour
association: deep rich red 10C.

indicated for the search for meaning, that which is larger than the egoic self. It is also for those
searching for the cause of unhappiness or disease, or that which arises out of feeling tied to the

Psychologically, it is indicated when one feels that their potential and desire for expression is
trapped and needs release. This is often associated with frustration and anger, related to ones
own incapacity or situation. The freeing of this feeling leads to a sense of strength and an ability
to undertake tasks that seem insurmountable. It is the medicine par excellence for balancing
difficulties in male / female relations and the inner masculine-feminine divide. It allows each one
to come to the relationship in their strength without aggressive power struggles or emotional
manipulation. Physically, it regulates and distributes heat in the body. It is excellent for

(Ruby is just a red Sapphire)
Sapphire immersion is made from blue sapphires found in Oberon, New South Wales. It is the
medicine for warming the cold heart. Feelings are shut down from the harsh experiences and
traumas of life, from war and violence. This is often necessary for survival yet, when carried into
ordinary life it can become a hindrance to love, care, and compassion. It allows us to tear away
the masks which hide our true nature. It is also an excellent medicine for creative ideas; it opens
the mind to new perspectives of creativity and different views of world and its phenomena.
Physically, it is a medicine for inflamed arthritic joints. It is also indicated for tendinitis. Colour

Gemstones
Thorough dislike of routines and physical chores: poor ability to sustain sufficient energy to
complete set tasks - can become slapdash - yet they often get stuck into situations which
oblige them to struggle with this aspect of themselves.
Can start off with high energy but quickly 'lose steam' and tire. As if physical energy
dissipates and leaves a vacuum filled with frustration and depression.
This leads to lack of concentration and brain fag.
Absent minded - can alternate with quick, sharp wittedness.
Naive and idealistic, refined and artistic
Fear of the ageing process as they fear that they are increasingly less likely to find love and
understanding. Becomes harassed easily with the feeling that they have too much to do and
too little time to do it in.
Youth and beauty are fleeting and we need every drop of help we can get to maintain our youthful
appearances as they tend to fade too fast for anyone to be comfortable with it. Since ancient times
women have kept rose quartz gemstone under their pillow so the soothing beauty of the stone will help
their bodies maintain their youthful appearance.

Black Opal
Silicon Dioxide and Molecule of Water, also Carbon and Iron (Ferrum)
Black opal immersion is made from a classic Australian Black opal from Lightning Ridge in
New South Wales. It has a reputation of being an unlucky stone for some. This could be related
to the fact that it has the power to release all that has been inhibited and limited. It is for
releasing the treasure of the authentic and spiritualized self, for breaking down the barriers of
disconnection, repression, and imprisonment of our own and of societys making. It is for those
who desire change, release, and transformation. It gives great centeredness and strength in
times of change. It is indicated for paralysis (inability to change); chronic fatigue; chronic ear
pain, and the effects of sexual repression. Colour association: teal blue 17C
