Stone Color Symbolism




Stones can be used for divination, meditation, healing and magic. Each stone will have a different power source or center. Having several stones of different colors will allow you to set up a specific magical power by setting the stones at the four corners around your sacred space when going on a Shamanic journey. You should always keep your stones in a cloth bag large enough to fit your hand into. If you have an affinity for a certain stone or it�s color you can purchase a ring or a necklace setting of that color or type of stone. You can also place stones in medicine bags to carry in your pocket or to place around your neck. If you know someone who does jewelry or lapidary work, you can have the specific stone of your choice mounted in a ring or necklace setting. This is a brief list of what each color symbolizes
