Mysterious and beautiful, shining like stars, radiant like the Sun, precious stones have always been attractive to people. Legends were made about them, they wrote poems and books, they died for them. Kings and princes piled up heaps of treasures, inserted emeralds, sapphires, pearls into crowns and thrones. Especially famous stones were world famous and represented the state treasure, one of the foundations of the prestige of the country and the monarch. In the West, precious stones are, first of all, the purity of water, the number of carats and the perfection of form, that is, everything that is associated with price, ultimately – with earthly power and power. In the East, precious stones were worshiped as living creatures, they were studied and classified, used in medicine and in life strategy. There they discovered the laws of action of stones, compiled detailed lists of their varieties, associated their actions with astrological factors. Each stone refers to a particular planet or star. Due to its crystalline structure, it focuses their energy on the earthly plane and then gives it to a person. Astrology teaches when and how to apply certain stones.

This ancient art was forgotten and then revived by Spanish astrologers, first of all, the famous Tito Masia, under whose leadership the “Lapidarium” by Alfonso X the Wise, an ancient treatise on gemmo astrology dating back to the 13th century, was translated and published. The use of stones is purely individual and the decision about this is made on the basis of a specific horoscope. The results are often surprising. However, an “overdose” of the impact of the stone can lead to an imbalance in the body: one must observe the measure and not spur the horse of fate, but only gently guide it.
