Sep
In the realm of collectable objects, there is no doubt that gemstone planets are emerging as an interesting and captivating category. These miniature celestial bodies, carefully crafted from a variety of precious and semi-precious gemstones, offer the enthusiast and collector a stunning blend of artistry and science.
And when you move beyond their aesthetic appeal, you learn that gemstone planets are also believed to possess unique metaphysical properties that can influence our lives. In the following, we shall delve a little into some of the mystic qualities associated with six popular, collectable, gemstone planets. I am fully aware that one of them is the Moon, but since we all know that the Moon is known to exert a significant influence over the Earth, I have included it here, along with Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn, and Venus.
Mars: Red Jasper
Red Jasper, with its vibrant hues and grounding energies, is often associated with the fiery red planet Mars. This gemstone is believed to enhance courage, determination, and vitality. It is said to stimulate the root chakra, grounding one to the earth and providing a sense of stability and security.
Mars is also associated with passion, ambition, and physical strength and energy.
Beyond its traditional associations, Red Jasper is believed to have additional metaphysical properties. Some believe that it can help alleviate anxiety, boost energy levels, and enhance willpower.
It may also be useful for grounding and stabilising emotions, particularly during times of stress or change.

In addition to its spiritual properties, amethyst is believed to have healing benefits. It is said to help relieve headaches, insomnia, and stress.
Amethyst is also believed to promote detoxification and strengthen the immune system, although I wouldn’t say that this has been confirmed scientifically.
