Gemstones for the Medical Profession
In ancient times, the medical profession found it totally acceptable and normal to prescribe gemstones as part of both prevention and cure for all sorts of ailments.
Things seem to be circling back these days as many people in healthcare are beginning to take a more holistic approach by including diet, herbs, massage, emotional and spiritual well being and yes, gemstones, in their treatments.
Doctors, dentists, nurses, massage therapists, acupuncturists, hypnotherapists, surgeons, homeopaths, chiropractors, the list goes on and on, can all benefit from the presence of crystals in the workplace.
We have selected the top gemstones with a heritage and history stretching back into the mists of time as healing aids. They have a variety of attributes and we are sure you will find a suitable stone or two.
Let’s start with a couple of relaxing gemstones which can put your clients or patients at ease before any sort of treatment or diagnosis.

I like the search ability. I was looking for a gemstone of particular size and color to place in a ring that I already have. Your company carries a large variety of beautiful stones.

I like to use GemSelect for finding calibrated sizes of gemstones. I purchased sapphires a few years ago and found the quality to be outstanding so I went ahead and purchased some more today (different) and some really unique moonstone. I'm opening a jewelry busy soon and so accurate gemstone sizes, quality, and reliability as a supplier is really important to me. Gemselect seems to fill all those requirements.
