April Newsletter - Covid-19 the World's worst Pandemic

Gemstones may not be your first concern during these very troubling times as Covid-19 circles the world causing panic and havoc wherever it goes. However it is very important that business tries to continue as best it can.

At the moment we are told that postal services are continuing as per normal (Italian Post experiencing delays but Fedex in Italy working as usual) and the CDC in the US says there is likely a very low risk that Covid-19 can be spread from products and packages.

The United States Postal Service said there’s currently no evidence COVID-19 is being spread through the mail, pointing to guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization and the Surgeon General.

Our offices are located in a relatively quiet area in Eastern Thailand where there is very little tourism and so far there has been very little interruption to our day to day lives but we are taking all necessary precautions.

We are still well stocked with gemstones and have a skeleton staff at the moment so we can continue to provide a comprehensive service to satisfy your needs.

If you have any questions about deliveries please do not hesitate to contact us.

(We will keep you updated as we receive more information about deliveries.)

It is important to follow all the advice from your local health authorities, stay indoors as much as possible, keep washing your hands and try to stay calm.

Absolutely nothing can beat the sensible advice from medical experts but many of us believe in the powers of gemstones to help us through some bad times both physical and emotional.

I have collected together the names of a few gemstones best suited to help us in these desperately worrying times.

For anxiety and solitude, I suggest Malachite, as it brings a sense of calm and peace, or Rose Quartz which also calms emotions and takes away the feelings of loneliness and despair.

The best gemstones for the lungs and respiratory system are Jasper as it detoxifies the lungs and Carnelian which is good for both lungs and the throat.

To give your immune system a boost, try Amethyst which is also great for cleansing the system and dealing with stress, or Bloodstone which is known for its benefits to circulation and in combating colds and flu.

The Chakra which most influences the lungs is the Heart Chakra and the best gemstone for this Chakra is Rose Quartz which is good for thymus and heart as well. The Root Chakra affects the body’s immune system so we would suggest Obsidian as it works well for the lower Chakras.

Even if you are not sure about the spiritual benefits of crystals a beautiful gemstone can certainly work as a great pick-me-up.

Anyway everybody please stay safe, help each other and be positive from all of us here at GemSelect
