By Bonnie McMillan of New Age Concepts

Diamonds are Girls Best Friend! The diamond is the birthstone for the month of April, and besides being the most popular gemstone for fine jewelry including engagement rings, the diamond is also is the anniversary stone for the 10th and 60th years of marriage. Diamonds are mined in Africa, Australia, Brazil, Russia and also in the USA.

A symbol of purity, diamonds unite relationships by bringing love and clarity into a partnership. A large diamond is an ideal tool to block against geopathic or electromagnetic stress which can come from cell phones. An amplifier of energy, diamonds are one of the few stones that never need to be recharged. Mentally, diamonds provide a link between the intellect and the higher mind, inspiring clarity of mind and aiding enlightenment. At a spiritual level, diamonds can cleanse one’s aura of anything shrouding a person's inner light, and can activate the crown chakra, linking it to the divine light.

Herkimer Diamonds are also beautiful stones that are found in United States (mostly in New York), Mexico, Spain and Tanzania. It is an energizing stone that enlivens one’s body, mind and spirit, and promotes creativity. It is also a powerful attunement crystal, especially the smaller and exceptionally clear stone. Spiritually, Herkimer diamonds can be used to stimulate psychic ability such as clairvoyance, increase spiritual vision and telepathy, and clear the chakras, opening channels for spiritual energy to flow. Smokey Herkimer has a particularly strong grounding energy that heals the base chakra and the environment. Just like regular diamonds, Herkimer diamonds are one of the strongest crystals used to clear electromagnetic pollution or radioactivity, blocking geopathic stress, and relieving insomnia. Herkimer with Citrine is an excellent antidote to fatigue caused by negative energies. Herkimer diamonds have past-life recall of injuries and disease that still affect the present life.
