Gemstones for Mothers
Introduction
We have just celebrated a new addition at our offices when our office manager, Koy, gave birth to a little baby boy. It went smoothly enough as we all had lunch together and at 3 pm someone told me she had had the baby – I didn’t even noticed she had gone!
This happy event got me thinking about gemstones for new mothers and, of course, this led to gemstones for mothers-to-be, those trying to be mothers, my mum and all the mothers in the world!
Let us start with a few gemstones for all the new moms out there.
Rose Quartz
For new mothers there is one gemstone that stands out above all the rest, Rose Quartz, the stone of unconditional love, compassion, self-love, the ultimate symbol of love in all its incarnations.

Before the joys and challenges of having children can be experienced there is the small matter of getting pregnant to deal with. There is always adoption but a gemstone for fertility in both men and women could be useful.
Garnet Gemstones
The Stone of Health has an age old reputation for enhancing energy, sexuality and fertility. The red examples of Garnet are especially powerful in bringing forward feelings of devotion, trust and honesty within a relationship.

With all this talk of new moms and mother-to-be let’s not forget our own dear mothers. I started to investigate the birthstone for Mother’s Day only to find it varies all over the world. Instead I think I will suggest the deep purple blue Tanzanite.
Tanzanite Gemstones
This gemstone is only found in the foothills of Mt Kilimanjaro and the local Massai tribe believe the color blue is sacred and only those who have brought forth life can wear this color. Traditions aside this is a beautiful gemstone that any mother would love to have.
