"What would you be if you could be a gemstone? This may seem to be an
unusual question at first. Think about it for a moment. The answer is
bound to tell you something about yourself. Most of us have played the
game, "If I could be a color, I would be a _____", or "If I could be an
animal, I would be a ____."
These behavior modification associations can always help identify some
of your personal qualities and strong characteristics. A gemstone identity
association will do the same thing, for like you, a gem has specific
identities.
Once you've decided what gemstone you are, it will be fun to ask the same
question of your spouse, close friends, even your boss, or any person
that has an influence in your life. You may discover characteristics of
that person. You can also recognize areas in which you and your associate
could use positive
reinforcement. You'll get "surefire" gift ideas for family and friends.
Try experimenting with carrying your identity stone to strengthen your
personality and to reflect your wealth and value of yourself.
Below are listed 20 stones for your personal identity, followed by a
personality description of the individual stone. By noting a new choice,
you may even become more aware of changes in your outlook. Like a gemstone,
be more open to light and yourself. Pick from the list below first, and
