The Magic Power of Gems! Believe it!

I'm partial to emeralds myself; here's an excerpt from The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols - "An elemental manifestation of power, the emerald is essentially an expression of the seasonal renewal of nature and therefore of the Earth's positive forces.  In this sense it is a symbol of Spring, of the manifestation of life and of evolution, as opposed to the deathly, regressive forces of Winter."  One day I'll have my ring made of emerald ...  *le sigh*

The way that guy is staring at the sapphire, he must be trying to avoid some seriously evil vibes.
