Diamond is a clear, colourless gem, often prized for its dazzling
facets. It has a projective energy and is associated with the sun and
element of fire.
Currently the gem is highly used in engagement rings. This
practice is due more to agressive advertising on part of the diamond
industry rather than any traditional beliefs. Diamonds are believed
to increase one's confidence with the opposite sex and is very useful
in curing infertility and other sexual dysfunctions. It is not,
interestingly enough, a stone of love. Other stones, such as
sapphires would be much better for
promoting a long, happy marriage.
The diamond's powers range far beyond those of sexuality. It is
also seen as having great protective influence and is believed to
grant physical strength, courage and victory.
In shamanic practices, the diamond is worn to promote spitituality
and a ritual state of conciousness. For these reasons, it is often
used in meditations.
It is believed to be a stone of peace, and can encourage sleep
and dispell nightmares and other nocturnal disturbances.
