Gemstones Radiate Calming Energy, Often Displayed in Spas with Guide to Special Qualities

At the enchanting holistic day spa Terme Di Aroma, a holistic day spa at 32 North Third Street, in Philadelphia's Historic Section, I was so impressed with the gorgeous sculptural amethyst tree, along with other gemstones in the case, I just wanted to stare at the gemstones. After a long time of looking at the tree, while, feeling foolish, I asked the owner if I was unusualy, and he assured me I wasn't, that gemstones have special qualities.

Thinking about it, I recalled the many spas I have visited also sold and displayed gemstones, which can bring serenity, wisdom and calm to those who wear and display them. Gemstone jewelry, such as earrings, pendants, bracelets -- also looks good! Below is a list of gemstones and quality, and all are sold -- inexpensively -- on the website silvergemshop.com, which my son set up after his return home from the Peace Corps,to help support his village and friends in Nepal,. Every day, I select a different stone to wear depending on my mood. Turquoise, amethyst, citrine, garnet, moonstone, carnelian and coral are some of my healing favorites.

Below is more informatiaon on specific gemstones.

Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000  strong Date: April 2 2005 No: 543 Friends of the Peace Corps 170,000 strong
170,000 is a very special number for the RPCV community - it's the number of Volunteers who have served in the Peace Corps since 1961. It's also a number that is very special to us because March is the first month since our founding in January, 2001 that our readership has exceeded 170,000. And while we know that not everyone who comes to this site is an RPCV, they are all "Friends of the Peace Corps." Thanks everybody for making PCOL your source of news for the Returned Volunteer community.
