Some of
the things I love the most, besides my gorgeous children and large, absolutely
crazy family; are arts and crafts, of any kind or medium; research, I mean
anything that gets me even the slightest bit curious; and gemstones, well any and
all rocks. I’m able to combine these loves and share them with others through
Danu’s Treasure Trove.
Lately
I have been making jewelry that is centered around the Zodiac. This of course
means that I have been researching zodiac stones. So, I thought I’d share some
the interesting things I’ve found out about them.
First
up is Zodiac Stones for Aries. The two main stones for Aries are Diamonds &
Bloodstones.
The Diamond
is known as ‘The King of Gems’. The ancient Greeks named it “adamas”, meaning
invincible, indestructible. Diamonds are believed to provide strength, courage, and
invincibility in a fight. They also help produce bravery, daring, and eventual
victory. Therefore, in Ancient Rome, soldiers wore diamonds that were set in
steel rings created so that the stone would touch their skin.
The Diamond
is also known as ‘The Stone of Protection’. Having a diamond faceted in a six
sided cut will bring the wearer lifelong luck. The mount should not prevent the
stone from touching the skin, otherwise its properties will disappear.
Diamonds
are also believed to bring longevity, balance, clarity, and abundance;
particularly to a relationship. They also encourage self-confidence and
independence, and counteract jealousy. It’s recommended that diamonds be worn
on the left hand or at the neck for stronger benefits.
Associations: Chakra – 7th;
Element – Fire; Planets – Sun & Venus

Bloodstone
is known as ‘The Stone of Courage’. It was carried by soldiers to avoid been
wounded and to stop bleeding. It’s believed to have a calming effect on fear
and anger. It is also said to lengthen life and aid one to go unnoticed, if
desired.
Bloodstone
is also known as ‘The Martyr’s Stone’. Legend says that bloodstones were first
formed when drops of Christ’s blood fell and stained some Jasper at the foot of
the cross.
In
ancient times, women carried bloodstones to ensure a safe pregnancy and
childbirth. It’s also believed to help one to be victorious in legal matters,
and aid in business by attracting money and success. Keep a Bloodstone in your
wallet for luck, money, and health.
