Here you’ll find stories, myths and legends, miscellanious info, facts and lore about precious stones as well as the stories of many famous gemstones. Unlike other sites though, we’re here to tell the stories, not the properties of special gems.
Gemstones are as old as the earth and people have been making jewellery from them for thousands of years – so it’s inevitable that there are many ancient myths about ancient stones. Even today the traditions and histories of gems are changing…
So dive right in, you can browse by stone or story type, whether you’re looking for myths, stone bios or everything about amethyst, you can start with the links to the right. This ‘directory’ is very much a work of progress so please do leave comments, which are your favourite stories? Do you know other versions? There are many more stories to come, and you can use the links on the left to find the latest.
So look around and enjoy!
