Hello and welcome to my sum of knowledge on the effects and powers of precious and semi-precious stone in the physical world. This information might be against or contradictory to what you believe so please don't flaunt your beliefs on others.
WE can all agree that precious and semi-precious stone is one of the greatest marvels of this world and i will try to explain why we have a certain affinity twords special formations of minerals.
Difference between Cut and Uncut gems.
Cut gems are generaly more pleasing to the eye , the effect of a cut gem is especialy focused by its shape allowing for a smaller but more controlled energy source.In ancient times jewelers were given specific instructions on how to cut gemstones and jewels for priests and practicers of the arcane arts.
Uncut gems are in their raw and pure form radiating intense energy which is in a chaotic state and incredibly hard to control.
Scientifical and Pseudoscientifical facts:
-Minerals like all matter radiate energy , some to a dangerous high level such as uranium.
-Humans have an inherant love for minerals and their uses.
-Different kind of minerals produce different emotions and effects on humans.
Supercharged , and dangerous:
Radioactive minerals such as Iridum or Uranium , a human cannot harness their power physicaly without destroying themselves.If we could we would have way greater control over our surroundings with the ability to do it remotely (Various forms of kinesis abilities).

Hi im Jody. i just joined today. i usually stick to myself and learn by way of books. i am making a tarot box, and would like to carve runes and use benifical stones. Do you have any advice? as well as a protectuon amulet or anything else that i can carry to ward off ill-will. i have odd instincts that baffle me, but for some reason i carved an area inside the top of the lid of the box for a small mirror. mirrors have always awed and scared me. is there any specific lore on them. as i said, im new and you cant learn without asking. im not a know it all. id gladly trade with you. im into plants ( vines rock) and can tell ya some pretty cool personality trates of the more vishous of them! t y
Jody mirrors have for centuries been known as the windows to the parallel plane , they are good only for reflecting energy , i suggest taking a small gemstone such as an opal or emerald/jade/pearl/tiger's eye or hemimorphite and placing it into the sides or the middle of the mirror , gems naturaly radiate energy and this should help it scatter arround. Emerald for focus , opal for harmony and the transmutation of energy and other gems as stated in the topic . Cheers!
