For centuries crystals have been revered for their special magical and healing properties. Yet, no gemstone is as powerful as the rough diamond. The hardest substance found in nature, a diamond can only be cut by the strength of another diamond. In addition to its physical power, the nearly indestructible gemstone has been assigned metaphysical properties since it was discovered thousands of years ago in India. More than any other gemstone, natural diamonds have been allotted an array of miraculous powers. Throughout the past 3,000 years it has been stated that diamonds promote qualities including love, strength, energy, luck, happiness, longevity and healing. The intrinsic beauty of a rough diamond with the fiery light shining from its core inspired people throughout history to value the gemstone not only for its appearance but also for its perceived magical powers. Even before diamonds were used in jewelry such as tiaras, engagement rings and necklaces, they were carried for protection and healing by kings, queens, warriors and those fortunate to obtain such a sacred gem. Rough diamonds were used as amulets and talismans and sought after for their special energy. Warriors carried them into battle for strength and protection. Diamonds were worn to guard against poisoning in the middle ages. It was believed that anyone who wore the special stone was protected from evil forces. A diamond would chase away fears and negativity. While the jewels provided positive qualities to its wearer, they help curse and bring harm to the wearer's enemies. How did rough diamonds earn their reputation of having special powers? Minerals possess energy. Rough diamonds as well as other precious and semi-precious gemstones are able to reflect sunlight, which can be noticed as the stones sparkle when moved. The energy radiated from the stones was where the magic came from. It seems a natural choice that currently about 80% of engagement rings showcase a diamond. From the Greek adamas meaning "indestructible", the stone represents eternal love and is said to enhance trust, love and faithfulness. Whether the special energy possessed by a rough diamond is in its ability to enchant with its beauty or something more scientific, the conclusion is that those who wear the amazing gem will tell you they do feel fortunate just to own one.
