So deep rooted is this fancF that
even now lovers pledge their troth with

unconsciously the custom that had us
origin In believing the stone possessed
OF magical and beneificent qualities.
Many gems in olden times were be-
heved to indicate by their Changing
color, the mental or physical condition
of their wearer and Mr.. Kunz inclines
to the belief that gems were earliest
worn as amulets, not as ornaments Tha
wearing of agate" was believed to cure

Amber was used at n very early pc
ROD as an amulet and also for me-

to cure the intoxication of either liquor
or love. and the wearing of the stone
protected soldiers in battle or hunts
men during the chase The scarbuncler
was recommended as a heart slim
Liant, and the "comelean" inspired
those who lacked courage in act or
speech and also afforded the wearer

mythical "moonstone" was believed to
bring good fortune and also it was re-

And-so throughout the ages II has
been natural to associate good with

One charming essential according to
ancient superstitions in developing
their mystic qualities to guard and to
bless is that they shall be gifts--not
purchases
To sell the gem to the wearer Is to
