What should a real mascot be like?
To become an effective talisman, according to astrology, a gemstone must meet the following requirements:
1) Be of natural origin, preferably without refinement.
2) Be in good cleanliness, without cracks or defects
3) Be given from the heart
Today you can find a huge number of fakes and imitations on sale, ranging from glasses that were used in ancient times to modern high-tech laboratory-grown analogues of natural minerals, the so-called synthetic stones. According to authoritative astrologers, despite the fact that the structure and composition of synthetics often almost completely replicates the properties of natural stone, there is no power in synthesized stones. Natural stones were in the depths of the planet for hundreds of thousands, millions of years, so they absorbed the energy of the Earth and the Sun. These are really strong amulets.
Often, it is impossible to determine with the naked eye whether a stone is natural or a skillful imitation. To be sure, you need to contact a gemologist or a reputable laboratory that specializes in diagnosing the origin of the mineral. When we, at Gem Lovers, select lots for our catalogue, our expert gemologists examine each item. Therefore, we can guarantee that the stone is natural. We also know for sure that the stone was not worn in a product, and does not contain the energy of a stranger. Since our work is carried out directly with raw materials from the deposits, most often we know whether the stone has been refined and by what method. This information is provided for each lot. Many lots in the catalog have already received expert opinions from independent gemological laboratories.
High purity is the absence of visible cracks, inclusions and defects. If a stone has a large crack, visually visible to the naked eye, this indicates its low energy. It is better to refuse such an instance so that it does not cause harm.
In addition, according to esotericists, for some talismans it is important that there is direct contact with the skin of its owner. Therefore, the frame must be light, or specially designed in such a way that the stone can touch the skin.
