This last stone has a very special meaning for me. The last christmas that my mother was alive, she was living in a asisted living place. So for christmas I made either a bracelet or keychain for the aids that worked there. I witnessed thier kindness, gentleness, and patience with my mom. So I feel that to work in this type of business that they must have an unconditional love of humanity. This made the gifts mean so much more than just a gift of jewelry. So when considering your purchase of a gemstone gift do your research on the meaning of that stone.
