Diamond (April) Birthstone lore and
history
- Legend has it that Europeans first
discovered African diamonds in a Shaman's leather pouch. The
African Shaman used his diamonds as Shamans of the world use
quartz crystals. Anciently, diamonds were worn as unpolished
stones. They were treasured for their beauty and powers.
- The Philosopher's Stone: The diamond is
an ancient symbol of the perfected man whose divine spirit
shines forth. As the rough diamond is dull and lifeless when
first removed from the earth, so the spiritual nature in its
"earthly" state reveals little of its inherent luminosity. In
the hands of the skillful lapidary, the diamond is transformed
into a sparkling gem from whose facets pour streams of rainbow
colored fire, so upon the lathe of the Divine Lapidary, the
spirit of man is ground and polished until it reflects the glory
of its Creator from every atom. He lives by spirit.
- Kings, in old days, led the battles on
the battle fields. They wore heavy leather breast plates studded
with diamonds and other precious stones.
Because it was believed that diamonds were fragments of stars
and the tear drops of the Gods, the diamonds possessed magical
qualities of the Gods and had powers far beyond the
understanding of common man. The warriors stayed clear of the
Kings and those who were fortunate enough to have the magical
diamonds in their breast plates. So, they survived the wars by
the magic of the diamonds and were blessed by the Gods and had
lives of good fortune. Much of this lore still lives today in a
simply saying, "diamonds are a girls best friend." In ancient
Greece and Summaria, diamonds were the status symbols of Kings
and the very wealthy.
- The Greek word "adamas," meaning
unconquerable and indestructible, is the root word of the word
diamond. Diamonds were worn because they were thought to give a
person strength, invincibility, courage, and magical powers over
the dark side of life. Rainbows of color gave the stones magical
powers over the evil eye of the sorceress and magicians of the
day
