That’s so interesting! I have had pieces like that. Eventually I’ve given them away or sold them because I never wore them. Some gems do have a negative energy.This makes me think of my grandmother's diamond. She has three during her marriage. I was given her second one. It was worthless really and she was not a sentimental person. That stone had such bad energy I had to give it away. I hoped donating it would change the energy. I smudged it, I rolled it in salt, I tried to "ask" the bad energy to leave, but nothing. It is the only thing if hers I had that reaction to.
I have been on a kyanite kick because it reflects bad energy. In my line of work I need that!
Awesome thread idea, Mondayschild! Today I’m wearing a labradorite necklace....along with other things. I chose a Siberian white nephrite jade bangle from my bangle collection . This particular nephrite jade has a very back to center feeling. As we travel through the day, it reminds me to honor the center...and it’s very soothing, like deep Mother Earth welcoming energy.
The labradorite is a stone which has a lot of ‘shadow’ in it. I think of it like Jungian shadow, which is much of our richness which is stored in the subconscious, away from direct consciousness for ego integrity. But if we dig into it, there is tremendous treasure and richness in what we fear and hold apart. I feel that it helps me reconnect to and reembody that which remains nebulous, It also has that flash of light, which always makes me feel that it is a stimulating stone, which provides ‘ light in the dark places’, and ‘eyes to peer into the dark and see what it holds’. So for me it’s a stone which straddles the consciousness. Thankfully, for me this experience is not jarring, but very gentle with this stone, which I appreciate.

This is an interesting thread.
I have always thought that jewelry can have a certain energy, good or bad.
I have worn my jadite bangle continuously since 2006.
It's not superior quality but it has withstood the test of time! I can remove it, but I would rather not. It has become a part of me, and I don't feel 'right' without it. It is comforting on a level that I can't explain. I often think of upgrading my bangle, but then I would have to set this one aside! I would be uncomfortable doing that.
When I wear certain gems, I feel a connection with them, and certain gems really speak to me, specifically sapphire, my birthstone.
I did a school report on birthstones in the 6th grade (1975), so the birthstone concept goes way back for me!
I have an emerald ring, which I only wear on best occasions as a RHR but it always gives me a feeling a calmness. Don’t know why though it is such a pretty green and I find it very soothing. I have lots and lots of rings yet it is the only one that “speaks to me”. It was weird when I bought it, I had absolutely no intention of buying an emerald ring, yet I went home with it.
The Roma believe all items belongings to a person should be burned after they die or else the owner will "come back" to get the item. Hence me not having many family items. I think she was attached to the stone in a way. It will is amazing how much better I felt when it was gone!That’s so interesting! I have had pieces like that.

Monday, have you tried keeping citrine in your purse or are your desk so it is around you but a little removed so it does not have as strong an email effect?
I must always buy my jewellery “pre loved”. I feel that lovely pieces of jewellery were once important and special to someone and I like to honour that by continuing to cherish them. I do have unset gems and I’ve had gems set into jewellery but I don’t feel as connected to them as I do the items “with history”. I have quite a collection of ladies vintage watches, I went through a stage (on eBay) where every watch listed as “for scrap” I had to rescue. Maybe I’m a bit odd, but I like to honour and respect the effort and craftsmanship of times gone by.
While I do not believe in gem-voodoo and -healing, I'm absolutely sure that certain gems with their particular memories, history and persons associated to them, do produce 'energy'. Further, it is proofed science that different colors have different psychological effects on people. Assuming that you'll look at the color on your finger many times a day, then it should have an influence on you.
My in laws own a large museum and shop with fossils, minerals, crystals gemstones.
The full moon is supposed to clean away old energy and "recharge" crystals and gemstones with more positive energy.
I think all stones have different energy.
I had this gorgeous antique diamond band that I bought online. I didn't feel anything negative about the ring, but while I was pregnant with my last child, I wore it the whole pregnancy. It was too loose to wear before I had gotten pregnant.
I had a hard pregnancy. Things weren't so great with my marriage. I felt so distant from my husband the entire pregnancy, I didn't know if things were going to go back to normal.
After I had my baby, things got better and I was so happy to have my new baby, and my marriage was great again, But everytime I wore that diamond band, I kept thinking about how I felt and all the feelings I had about my marriage while I was pregnant.
I know it had nothing to do with the ring but I didn't want to remember those feelings. I sold the band and didn't really care about losing it.
Looking back, I really could have just kept it in my jewelry box. It was a gorgeous ring. But I kept finding myself not wanting to wear it.
My husband recently bought me a ring I can never see selling or not wanting to wear because I feel it has brought me good luck and I reach for it every single day.
Yes! That’s true for me too, except I’m drawn to blue sapphires, lavender/blueishjadeite, moonstones and other feldspars, aqua, emerald, spessartite garnets and pearls and turquoise. I definitely feel particularly drawn to these. It’s not just about how they look.There are certain gems that I am drawn too. For example chrysoberyls, diamonds and spinels. I could find almost exact replica's in other stones that would be much less expensive- yet I need these gems to be authentic. I find they do have a certain energy that I respond to.
Lisa, I feel the same way about your collection! Thank you for the complimen. Like you, I’ve slways been drawn to chrysoberyl, especially cats eye, but have not yet had the chance to buy one. You’ve really inspired me with your beautiful chrosoberyl ring! I think that combo of spessartite garnets with maybe golden moonstones would be awesome and unique. What a great idea!Bluegemz I think your collection is fabulous. I drool over your collection pictures. I should add I am drawn to spessartite garnets and moonstones as well. I do not have one moonstone in my collection but I do love them. Wouldn't it be stunning to have a spessie garnet flanked by moonstones in a ring or pendant? Both the sun and the moon in one piece.
Thank you!!
....When they hit the ground their kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy, acoustic energy, a bit of thermal energy and probably some other forms of energy I'm too lazy to look up.
People vary.
Well, someone had to post some facts.
Facts are always welcome.
