Everything in the universe is in a state of evolution, including the mineral kingdom. The gnomes are the elemental beings who work specifically with the mineral kingdom. This chart indicates the hierachy of minerals and gemstones. It was channeled by Vywamus through The Tibetan Foundation.
People often have a hard time realizing that minerals are alive.
The signature of life in the mineral kingdom is the crystalline formation the gnomes have created. There are also dead minerals. That is not to say that a rock should never be cut from a quarry, but like a cut flower it is no longer a living rock. Sometimes nature spirits will accompany the gemstone you own. In reality, the mineral kingdom might be the most important to life of all the kingdoms.
