Pearls are particularly beautiful & among the very few biological gemstones coveted by humans. The tradition of gathering them is so ancient we will most likely never know what culture began the process. Before the advent of culturing, which began early in the last century, they were very rare & one of the most expensive items, which made their use pretty exclusive to the ruling class. As a side note, the first of my pearl selections is kitty themed, if you’ve been following me for a while, you might be aware that I have a lot of cats, so the shape appeals to me very much.
I love amethyst, it’s my favorite color & a gemstone I feel particularly close to. Ever since I was a child I have felt an affinity for this stone. It’s semi-precious & has been sought after since at least the time of the Ancient Greeks. The stone, like so many others, is thought to have a variety of metaphysical qualities, in ancient times it was believed to ward of drunkenness & was considered a desirable material for drinking vessels.
Jade, so associated with Chinese mysticism & thoroughly entwined with their culture. It may surprise some of you to learn that it actually comes in a wide variety of colors, with a translucent emerald green is the most highly regarded & the most expensive form, for a long time it was reserved only for for the Chinese Imperial family (hence the name imperial jade).
