About This Quiz

The healing qualities of gemstones have been tried and tested among many in the holistic healing world. Different stones can help with various issues, like self-confidence, emotional well-being and life balance. Life presents problems every day, but it also presents the solutions to those problems. You just have to know where to look. Sometimes the solution is right in front of your face and you can reach out and grab it. Sometimes you have to look a little deeper, and sometimes you have to look within yourself in order to resolve a problem. Being able to solve your own problems is great, but you shouldn't have to rely solely on yourself for healing.

Utilizing gemstones in the proper way can mean the difference between actually healing and telling yourself you're better off than you are. Given the ease with which you can obtain healing stones, you could go from feeling down to feeling in tip-top shape in no time. While the healing power of these stones is not yet backed by science, they have been used in cultures all around the world for hundreds of years, and those who use them truly believe in their healing power. So which gemstone will you rejuvenate you? Take this quiz and we'll guess!
