ABOUT THESE GEMSTONES:

The pearl is said to improve self-worth and help people see themselves. It is an emblem of modesty, chastity and purity that symbolizes love, success and happiness. The gemstone also is associated with ministry, bringing wisdom through experience. Pearls are purported to help to attune the chakras; the gentle colors bring soft, healing energy to meditation. By helping people master the heart chakra, they are reported to aid stomach, spleen, intestinal tract and ulcer problems. In addition to their metaphysical properties, pearls are believed to eliminate emotional imbalances.

The name Hematite derives its meaning from the Greek word for blood. Hematite has a high iron content (almost 70%), which made it a very popular healing stone for blood & kidney disorders. Many believe that hematite aids in achieving clarity, balance, calm and reason. It is also said to transform negativity into love, enhance memory and intellect, and strengthen the circulatory system. Hematite is said to help ground or stabilize and has been used for protection. Hematite has been used to bring mental organization and is said to be very calming. It can allegedly help with original thinking, logical thinking, and mathematics, any type of thinking which requires significant mental organization.

Onyx is purported to help eliminate apathy, stress and neurological disorders, eliminate negative thinking, and sharpen the wits of the wearer. It is used to change habits, in addition to helping concentration levels and aiding absentmindedness. Some think it makes the wearer more eloquent, and thus it is worn for public speaking.
