GEOLOGICAL :- The Diamond is the purest substance in Nature and also one of the hardest, measuring 10 (out of 10) on the Mohs scale, composed of pure carbon. Generally colorless, it is sometimes found in varieties of yellow, brown, green, blue, reddish or black. Diamonds produce a very hard cutting edge is used in Diamond blades on the cutting edge of a surgeons knife, requiring virtually no pressure, allowing minimal bruising and bleeding and reducing scar tissue after the wound is healed. Diamonds are found in many countries.
MYTHOLOGICAL :- The Diamond is known (in Greek as Adamas, meaning unconquerable) as the ‘King - gem’ and the pearl as the ‘Queen - gem’. The Diamond, brilliant and resistant, becomes the emblem of fearlessness and invincibility, the Pearl, the emblem of modesty and purity. Therefore it seems fitting that these two go well together.
It is said the first Diamonds were found in the leather bag of a sorcerer. Tradition endows the Diamond with a wonderful range of powers from driving away the devil, as it resisted his power day and night, to curing lunacy. Once associated with lightening, the Diamond was also believed to owe it’s origin to the thunderbolt. The Diamond was thought to bring victory to it’s user, by giving him superior strength, fortitude and courage, at the same time, driving away nocturnal spectres. We find the following translation from an Orphic poem, written in the second century, showing the high regard Diamonds were held in at this time :
The evil eye shall have no power to harm, Him that shall wear the Diamond as a charm, No monarch shall attempt to thwart his will, And e’en the Gods his wishes shall fulfil.
In times past the Diamond was used to show the guilt or innocence of anyone accused of a crime, if guilty the stone would grow dim, however if innocent it would shine brightly.
HEALING :- Diamond is the essence of the mind because of its hard cutting edge. It symbolises durability, incorruptibility and invincibility. The Diamond is well known as a token of love, and through it’s durability and purity, rather than it’s monetary status, offers proof of total perfection expressed in a single element.
A two carat stone is the smallest needed to produce any results, which puts this stone out of the price range of most of us, thus making Diamond essence a far more affordable choice. In fact the Hindu’s believed it was extremely dangerous to use Diamonds of inferior quality for curative purposes as they would not only not assist the problem, they may actually create other problems.
Diamond essence is said to produce a state of spiritual ecstasy, possibly through its ability of enhancing brain function, helping in the alignment of cranial bones.
It breaks up blockages in the personality and is known as ‘A master healer.' Diamond essence enhances the full spectrum of energies, promoting abundance, innocence, purity and faithfulness. Because of it’s ability to remove blockages and negativity that may interfere with other vibrational essences, Diamond essence is frequently combined (misted over) other gems and crystals. It is of particular benefit when used with Amethyst essence and Emerald essence. Diamond essence has the ability to recharge the properties of other essences, as it energies come from a higher vibrational frequency and are then transferred downward into the physical body. Used alone Diamond essence will amplify the energy of it’s user.
Unfortunately, like Quartz Crystal essence this may also amplify any negative energy the user possesses as well. However, if the user has positive energy, they will experience amplification that can lead to the illumination and realisation of the purity of the white light, which is an ideal state of light in it’s perfect balance to provide energy in it’s purest state. This allows the user to blend all the aspects of their life into a pure and cohesive entity which amplifies the energy state surrounding them.
Diamond essence assists with all areas of sexual or reproductive problems, cures ulcers, gives it’s user strength of both character and body, giving innocence, purity and virtue and helping in alleviating the pressure on the eyeball that may cause glaucoma.
Due to its ability to remove blockages and negativity, Diamond essence is beneficial at the start of a treatment, along with other essences, particularly when one is highly toxic.
CHAKRAS :- All. Diamond has a zodiacal affinity with all signs and is the assigned birthstone of those born in April.
