Some intelligent persons may wonder if stones can really have effect on us.
I would like to offer this very simple element of reflection here: it is quite easy to see how colors can affect or stimulate us – stones have beautiful colors, how can this not influence us???
For the power of colors to influence us – see that nice blog post.
Here is a small excerpt from that post:
- - Red increases blood circulation and thus stimulates the body and mind
- - Yellow stimulates the nerves and purifies the body
- - Orange increases your energy
- - Blue treats pain
- - Indigo alleviates skin problems
Here is a more detailed diagrams
| Color | Emotions |
|---|---|
| Black | Symbol of menace or evil, popular as an indicator of power. Associated with death and mourning, unhappiness, sexuality, formality, and sophistication. |
| White | Purity or innocence. Cold, bland, and sterile. |
| Red | Evokes strong emotions, associated with love, warmth, and comfort. Still considered an intense and angry color that creates feelings of excitement, intensity, sexuality. |
| Blue | A favorite color for many people and the color most preferred by men. Gives the feelings of calmness or serenity. Described as peaceful, tranquil, secure, and orderly. |
| Green | Symbolizes nature and the natural world. Represents tranquility, good luck,health, and jealousy. Symbol of fertility, has a calming effect and relieves stress. |
| Yellow | Cheery and warm, but can also create feelings of frustration and anger. Most fatiguing to the eye (that’s why you’ll rarely see a bright yellow website or a room painted with yellow with the exception of playrooms for kids) yet most attention-getting color (so great color for important details or calls to action- remember the yellow stop/caution color). |
| Purple | Royalty and wealth, wisdom and spirituality, sex and relationships, exotic and special. |
| Brown (all of us love wooden backgrounds). | Natural color that evokes a sense of strength and reliability, warmth, comfort, and security. |
| Orange (banner color of the counter-culture). | Blatant and vulgar color, makes you feel excitement, enthusiasm, and warmth. As a combination of red and yellow it’s often used to draw attention. |
| Pink | Associated with love, romance, youth, freshness and may have a calming effect. Pink effect depends on the type of pink (strong, light, deep etc). |
