[Peter Tumminello]
The information in this article has been gathered from 10 years of proving
experience and 16 years of prescribing these medicines clinically. Over those
10 proving years a core group of 10 individuals
and 66 others, who attended between one and six provings, worked to produce
the foundation material which underpins all that I and my associates have
written in Twelve Jewels. In addition to this, many hundreds of hours were
spent in discussing, distilling, analysing, and understanding this material, in
the light of long term experience and the application of the remedies in a
clinical setting.
This produced a deeper understanding and the ability to write about these
medicines in a grounded and penetrating way, in all the arenas that comprise
the human epic: physical, emotional, mental,
and spiritual. The results have been gladdening to all who receive and
prescribe them with due attention to their enormous healing and transforming
potentials.
Gemstones, so strongly imbued with radiance and colour, stand apart from
more common substances. The ancients thought them to be of supernatural origin.
Robert Boyle, the physicist, remarked that “they are the rare and noble
products of nature,” reflecting on the fact that they have always captured the
imagination and the eye which searches for beauty. Their most distinguishing
traits are rarity, beauty, and durability. Nature has surely been bounteous
with the fruits of the Earth but ungenerous with its rare jewelled beauties.
They are the product of a remarkable transformation of common rocks under heat
and pressure, often deep within the Earth. They were credited with power over
disease and misfortune, and the ability to confer traits and abilities like
invincibility (Ruby)
and divination (Topaz).
Historically, they have had no ordinary practical use but have been sought
after as icons of beauty and stores of wealth. Those of esoteric or spiritual
leaning have recognised in them a store of subtle powers and sacred
connections. Most famously, the breastplate of the high priest of Israel was
studded with twelve gemstones. Now, their use as a technology is well
established in precision instruments (Diamond and Ruby) and even in beauty products (Pearl).
The Earth’s crust is a solid layer on an ocean of molten magma and the
majority of gems have precipitated out of this primordial pool of minerals.
Even Pearl naturally comes from the ocean depths.
Gems are the ‘flowers of the underworld’ and as such have a power over the
forces that move in the depth of the psyche, whether they be familial, cultural
or racial. They include the vast gamut of
human programs and limitations, the structures that prevent us from finding
our true potential, and the physical diseases that accompany them.
Taking the gems is a journey through the depth of the psyche. Hermes, the
god of science, knowledge, healing, occultism, and alchemy was the only one who
could freely enter the underworld of Hades, return to the Earth and enter the
realm of the gods. The gems relate to the death of various parts of self, the
various elements by which we identify ourselves, and by which we are bound.
Interestingly, there is a tradition that Hermes’ gem is Emerald, which is the
gem of guidance on the journey of undertaking great tasks. Because of their
very nature, the gems as a group are our company on such
a journey, through the roots of our conscious and unconscious behaviours,
and belief patterns. They have the power to take us down into the unconscious
for a purging, an experiential purification,
an expelling of unwanted dross.
This is a mysterious and unknown journey and the signposts of the gems
light the way, otherwise the traveller through this subterranean world would no
doubt be lost. These comments come from observing the experiences of many. The
gems are outstanding for gaining strength, awareness, trust, and inner guidance
during the process for this journey.
I have found that the deepest energetic perception of the gems is a sense
of imprisonment, which is often expressed as such or ‘As if in a grave’,
‘shackled’, ‘trapped’, ‘hidden’ or ‘locked away’, with
no hope of escape. This inner feeling or sensation has a direct correlation
with the signature of the gems in that they have been locked away in the
underworld since time immemorial, with no seeming
way to express the joyous glory of their colour, power, and presence. When
released by nature or the hand of man, all its expressions are exposed and
illuminated. There is a clear correlation on the
mental plane with depression, as an expression of a hopeless existence or
situation.
Another way of expressing this is ‘hidden and released’ or ‘out of the
darkness into the light’. The light in gemstones is imprisoned until it is
freed by outside forces, mostly by mining; the intelligent application of human
skill. This appears clearly as a state in a number of the medicines. The prime
example is Diamond who feels he is imprisoned, buried by his own negativity and
despair, a powerful theme mentioned many times in the proving. The Diamond
character may end up in prison or feeling as if imprisoned by his relationship,
work or social order. This theme appears strongly in Black opal, Diamond, Ruby,
Emerald, Golden topaz, Sapphire, Morion, and Pearl. essence
Instinctual vs enlightened attitude
Commonly manifest in the gems is a battle between the lower aspects of
self, the more animal, instinctual or inert aspects of human behaviour, and the
aspects that enhance an intelligent response to our world of experiences. The
lower aspects are highlighted in the animal images; violence, abuse, and want
of feeling that pervade the gems as a group. The enlightened attitudes are
highlighted by the positivity, big picture consciousness, and
awareness/understanding that the gems evoke.
There is a feeling that these opposites need to be reconciled and there is
a strong conscious tension between them that is often expressed as the desire
for connection, whether with self or others. This desire for connection is a
search for the solution to the tensions between these natural worldly and
emancipated thoughts. In Diamond, for example, it is the desire to connect with
perfection versus the stress of doing so, without understanding that it
involves a process and the need for loving oneself. In Sapphire, the tension is
between survival instincts and the maintenance of one’s caring humanity.
Familial alignments
Gems are geometrically aligned minerals. Elements in compound form act on
relationships. In gems, there is a seamless and orderly bonding between the
atoms which comprise them. This relates to the integrity of our personal
relationships and particularly to families. The most common elements in the
gems are Aluminium and Silicon, which are pivotal in series 3 elements and the
formation of relationships. We see from clinical experience and provings that
the gems have an unusual power to align familial structures that have broken
down or are dysfunctional. Amethyst, Golden topaz, Lapis lazuli, Black opal,
and Ruby have been outstanding in this regard in clinical and proving settings.
Yin and yang
Many crystals are the result of the resolution of powerful elemental forces
that appear irreconcilable. Yin and yang, light and dark, good and evil, male
and female, life and death, fire and water, love and hate, confusion and order
are all recurrent themes of the gems. There is a distinct current of
consciousness grappling with the larger issues related to these forces, not
unlike the forces of nature that are aligned to produce these marvellous
substances. For example, fundamental male/female issues are largely dealt with
in Emerald and Ruby, love and hate in Amethyst, and life and death in Diamond.
Crystallised belief systems … into the Light
When talking to a gem-cutter about a beautiful red zircon I had cut, we
were admiring its magical beauty and he commented “and it will only last you
400 000 years!” Gems are old, really old and are indicated for the oldest and
most solidified of belief systems. Those beliefs about race, religion,
sexuality, and the nature of human existence are particularly at stake.
Sapphire, Black opal, and Lapis are the outstanding remedies for gaining a new
perspective but many of the gems generate a powerful change in consciousness
and perspective. Have you ever heard of the phrase “he has got rocks in his
head?”
Ego and exclusive rights
The words ‘rare’, ‘precious’, ‘special’, and ‘valuable’ are all attributed
to the gems. They were originally mostly reserved for the upper classes and
nobility. People have always sought to have exclusive rights over a gem because
it is such a valuable, prized, and revered object, or because of their
implications with money and power. This lands them in the realms of inflated
ego, whereas in the positive it is about giving credit, benefit or power where
it is due, where it will be appreciated and used to good effect. Diamond is the
pre-eminent ego destroyer and other gems, particularly Ruby and Sapphire, are
able to topple powerful egocentrics.
Transformation and alchemy
The production of gemstones is an alchemic/transformational process in
itself. Dull and ordinary rocks are heated, brought together, and subjected to
stupendous heat and pressure within the crucible of the Earth, during which
time they are purified and transformed into a structure of lasting beauty that
is able to receive light and express it with its own characteristic virtues.
The conscious desire for transformation is a fundamental theme in Black opal.
The change from negative to a positive focus by destruction of the ego in
Diamond is perceived as a transformation. The will to transform is implicated
in the Diamond state: dreaming of body transformation and giving the strength
to transform oneself.
Abuse, betrayal, violence, and protection: This set of characteristics is particularly
prevalent in the gems. They relate to the story of gems which, because of their
rarity, value and beauty naturally induce desire, lust, and violence. They are
about extreme passions and obsessions. This is particularly evident in the gems
Diamond, Sapphire, and Ruby.
Beauty: search for beauty and perfection is a theme of the gems.
Boundaries and light: A crystal can be described as a solid body bounded by
plane surfaces or faces, which are an external expression of a geometrical arrangement
of atoms. Amethyst, Black opal, and Quartz crystal all have definite issues
with boundaries. This theme also conveys the power of individuation, the
development of a persona which is decidedly unique and valuable, even
eccentric.
Faith: The gems work at this level, evoking faith in self, faith in one’s
own abilities, faith in one’s relationship to spouse or family, faith in a
Higher Power. A crisis of faith commonly calls for the prescription of a gem.
Geometry, order, and structure: Geometric images were particularly
prevalent in Sapphire, Amethyst, and Diamond. Ruby, Quartz, and Diamond are
outstanding for the need for precision and order
Heat, pressure, and passion: in the hard gems, which are produced under
enormous heat and pressure far below the earth’s surface or are metamorphosed
due to the movement of continental plates a sense that “the heat is on’,
‘pressure is high’, and intense passion are evident themes. This is
particularly true of Ruby and Diamond.
Imagery and symbolism: Some images common to the gems appear in many
provings:
Animals feature strongly as symbols of essential instinctual impulses
related to violence, sexuality or control.
Giving birth and babies relates to the birth of new or renewed
consciousness and concurrent death of the old. It is particularly prevalent in
Diamond, Ruby and Lapis. Faeces and toilets correspond to expelling incumbent
and unwanted feelings and thoughts.
Flower imagery often refers to the colourful blossoming of feelings, love
or expression through various gems.
Volcanoes with obvious affinity to their origins associated with heat,
pressure, and the eruptive quality of emotions and expressions associated with
many gems.
Gods, saints, masters and holy men indicate the spiritual, universal aspect
of self, the inner being.
Spinning force or machine appears in a number of medicines.
Spiralling force relates to the generation of energy on the deepest levels
in the human system; the chakras.
Sun and Moon are symbolic of the essential egoïc self – the essential
feeling self – and feature very prominently in the medicines.
Intellect and memory/focus and concentration: Since internal order is the
natural signature of all gems, it can be easily understood that they have a
great power over the ordered intellectual processes, clear thinking,
rationality, and memory. The gems often enhance focus and concentration.
Out of the body … grounded: Gems are minerals of high specific gravity but
transmit light, which is the finest of substances. Accordingly, those who need
the gems are often very material and grounded, or very etheric, or they
alternate between the two.
Elemental affinities: The gems include elements from series 1 to 3 and
there are strong affinities. Diamond is an obvious one with its issues about
self-worth (series 2) and with its accent on independence, balance, fixity and
sense of self (stage 10). Many gemstones, especially the precious ones, have
inclusions of series 4 metals: eg Sapphire includes titanium and iron. Many of
the themes of this series of metals are evident in these gemstones: control;
being put to the test; order and task.
Colour: the use of the symptom of colour choice, as expounded by Ulrich
Welte in Colors in Homeopathy, is a veritable sword of clarity for choosing the
right gem for an individual; the gems are often deeply characterised by colour
choice. (see information on individual gems below)
Spiritual Dimensions
The fact that gems are transmuted substances themselves infers their inherent
ability to express a state of transcendence, qualities that are vastly greater
than the sum of their constituents. This of course corresponds to their
interaction with humanity: in Ruby, ‘he is so human (in his compassion) he is
more than human’; in Pearl, he reaches a transcendent state of realisation
through emotional rectification so that he becomes like a serene swan sitting
on a perfectly still lake; in Diamond, through a mental purification and
rectification he reaches a state of absolute clarity about his own nature and
its value in spiritual and human terms.
There is often a strong sense of spirituality in those who need the gems.
For some they need a spiritual perspective on everything they do: they may be
focused on a spiritually centred activity like healing; they might be
channelling energies and spiritual healing or need crystals around themselves.
Often, they have very strong spiritual goals. I find there is commonly a
conscious search for a spiritual (higher
or more universal) virtue or experience as a fundamental focus of their
life.
Spiritual vs material
The gems are indicated for those who sense a strong separation or tension
between their spiritual and material desires or worlds. This is often expressed
as a struggle between good and evil; Christ (or other spiritual ideal) and the
devil; between egoic self and Higher Self; between worldly desire and
renunciation. An excellent example is seen in Golden topaz in the choice
between the world of material trappings and the renunciation of these, in order
to find the inner self.
Christ, the cross, and crucifixion
Christ, the cross and crucifixion appear many times in these provings.
These medicines are definitely not exclusively for Christians and many other
religions have been alluded to in the provings. The reason Christ’s experience
is most powerfully alluded to is clearly because of its inherent symbolism of
renunciation, suffering, and death; it is an indicator of transcendence through
suffering. This suffering relates to purging the small or egoic sense of self
in terms of material, emotional or mental desires and needs, as opposed to
higher ideals that are for the good of all, the all-encompassing spirit, and
the Higher Self. The person needing the gems may be ‘carrying a cross’ in her
life; being ‘crucified’ for beliefs or principles; suffering a personal test or
being ‘crucified’ by his own ideals or mission.
Sixth sense, energy awareness, and healing
The gems have long been associated with the supernatural power to protect
against misfortune, illness or danger, to act as an oracle (as the stones in
the ‘Breastplate of judgement’ of the ancient Jews),
and have long been used as talismans by many cultures. Paranormal faculties
are often relevant for individuals who use these remedies, be it before their
prescription or as a result of their action.
During the proving of Diamond and
other medicines various abilities were developed, including clairvoyance,
awareness of bodily energy fields, and the ability to see auras. These finer
faculties are developed by the field of the gem in much the same way as a
magnet induces a magnetic field by its molecular alignment.
Religion and renunciation: The gems enhance the experience of spirituality
regardless of whether it is tied to a set of orthodox religious practices, an
innate sense of spirituality or in those who are consciously travelling an
inner mystic path of expanding consciousness. The idea of religious
renunciation, giving up material desires for spiritual ends, is very strong in
the gems. They are indicated for anyone who is sincerely working with this
principle whether through diet, relationship, money, possessions, thoughts or
feelings. This theme is particularly strong in Golden topaz.
Meditation: Most of the gems are particularly useful in meditation, though
for differing aspects of it, for instance Diamond is outstanding for stillness and great depth
in meditation, erasing thoughts
and transcending the self to find the inner light.
Chakras: Experience of the chakras has been an integral theme of working
with the gems. All the gems were experienced in this way by one or other
prover, whether in meditation or not. The gems are
light transmitters and the first place of fixing the inner light is in the
chakras, the primal energy centres of the body along the spine. The details can
be found in Twelve jewels.
Phisical Indications
The gem medicines, arising from the combinations of many elements, are
indicated for a vast range of conditions. It has been noted, however, that they
showed an unusually strong action on heart and head, on the special senses, and
on energisation of the whole system. More details can be found in Twelve jewels
and under the specific proving indications for each gem.
Twelve Medicines
These medicines were prepared by immersing a whole natural crystal in water
for a period of 24 or more hours. This is called the “immersion method” and all
medicines made by me from gems are prepared in this way. This 'gem water’ is
then prepared into a medicine using standard homeopathic methodologies. As well
as acting on mind and body, these medicines are often useful for aligning and
connecting with your spiritual self.
Amethyst immersion is made from a strong purple variety of Amethyst. This
substance is crystallised silicon dioxide. It is now believed that structural
anomalies produce its characteristic colour. It is for those who are
oversensitive and who easily pick up the feelings of others to their detriment.
It opens the heart to unconditional love for all. It is an excellent medicine
for addictive tendencies, especially alcoholism. It is a useful medicine for
ailments of the respiratory tract, including asthma and sinusitis. It is often
indicated where Phosphorus has already benefited the individual.
Colour association: deep purple 12-14D
Black opal immersion is made from a classic Australian Black opal from
Lightning Ridge in New South Wales. It has a reputation of being an unlucky
stone for some. This could be related to the fact that
it has the power to release all that has been inhibited and limited. It is
for releasing the treasure of the authentic and spiritualised self, for
breaking down the barriers of disconnection, repression, and imprisonment of
our own and of society’s making. It is for those who desire change, release,
and transformation. It gives great centeredness and strength in times of
change. It is indicated for paralysis (inability to change); chronic fatigue;
chronic ear pain, and the effects of sexual repression. Colour association:
teal blue 17C.
Diamond immersion is made from a whole crystal of colourless diamond, which
is pure carbon. This is an extraordinary medicine for chronic depression and
many clients have benefited from its action.
The indications are suicidal feelings relating to self-hate, loss of faith
or loss of your most precious possession (be that a person, an object or one’s
sense of self). Anguish, despair, and worthlessness are often associated. It is
unparalleled in its drive for perfectionism. On the transformed side, a great
sense of positivity and self-love ensues from its curative use. It is a staunch
friend at the time of physical death, enabling the passing over to be fearless
and secure. It strengthens the will, enables one to realise his golden desire.
Physically, it acts on the head, sinuses, and anus. It has a specific power
over viral diseases. Colour association: white, sometimes black, or the rainbow
of colours as a whole.
Emerald immersion is the epitome of the rich green of nature, the abundance
of life force. Psychologically, it is indicated when one feels that their
potential and desire for expression is trapped and needs release. This is often
associated with frustration and anger, related to one’s own incapacity or
situation. The freeing of this feeling leads to a sense of strength and an
ability to undertake tasks that seem insurmountable. It is the medicine par
excellence for balancing difficulties in male / female relations and the inner
masculine-feminine divide. It allows each one to come to the relationship in
their strength without aggressive power struggles or emotional manipulation.
Physically, it regulates and distributes heat in the body. It is excellent for
migraines and has an action on the cardio-vascular system and digestive tract.
Colour association: rich green 20-22C.
Golden Topaz immersion is made from the gem often called Imperial topaz. It
has a deep golden or even amber colour. It is indicated for those whose lives
are locked up from fear, shock or loss in the past. This often leads to
depression, negativity or being ‘out of the body’ and not in this world. Once
these scars of the past are released, there is energised enthusiasm, a personal
renewal, and a love of life is actuated. Because of its ability to clear away
the past, it is excellent for creating positive relationship and communication
in a family, where there was previously dysfunction and lack of communication.
Spiritually, it is for letting go of the world and its trapping and allowing
you to make the pilgrimage within. It is the stone for spiritual retreats. It
develops devotional love; opening the heart to the divine. Physical: energises,
strengthens, and produces steadiness on the feet. It has an action on the liver
and lower abdomen. Colour association: golden yellow 3C.
Lapis lazuli immersion is made from an extraordinary piece from
Afghanistan. This medicine is indicated for the search for meaning, that which
is larger than the egoic self. It is also for those searching
for the cause of unhappiness or disease, or that which arises out of
feeling tied to the mundane trivialities of life. Its resolution is in seeing
the bigger picture, the aerial view of freedom, beauty, and larger perspective.
It is also indicated for those who have not been nurtured properly and it
allows them to ‘mother’ or nurture themselves. It improves communication,
freedom of expression, and connectedness in families. Physical: acts on the
thyroid and historically has a beneficial action on the eyes and sight. Colour
association: royal blue 15C-D.
Morion immersion is made from the variety of quartz crystal that is black
but is transparent on holding it to the light. It is a remarkable medicine for
those who are hindered in their life by past events, tainted memories and feelings
that have been left on the refuse heap of the unconscious mind. It is often
related to physical or emotional abuse, where the feelings and memories are
suppressed.
These people are trapped in the darkness of their past. The release of the
memories is often cathartic and intense yet leads to resolution and
reconciliation. Physically: this medicine works on the lower bowel and urinary
system. Colour association: Black.
Pearl immersion: the Pearl is classically associated with and worn by
women; in truth it strengthens the ‘feeling nature’ regardless of gender. It
resolves panic, terror, irritability, over-sympathy, and
hysteria when associated with the sensitive feeling nature. It is for those
who are insecure and overwhelmed by their feelings. The positive outcome is
firmness, balance, and confidence, all centered in
the feeling world. While Diamond immersion is a medicine of spiritual
mastery through the mind, Pearl achieves the same through perfect calmness and
peace in the feeling nature. It has a special action on the head (pressing
headaches) and eyes (effects of strain). It is an excellent remedy for travel
sickness and jet lag. Colour association: White and sometimes black.
Quartz crystal immersion is made from a clear quartz crystal from King’s
Bluff in South Australia. It is a medicine for the ego, be it exaggerated or
diminished. It is for those looking for recognition, those who have great
ambitions be they intellectual, spiritual or physical. The resolution of this
state is the healing of the tension that arises with these feelings and the
realisation that even the small in this world is an indispensable part of the
universe. He learns to go with the flow. This medicine brings great visionary
and inner wisdom and connection with the spiritual path. Physical: it is a
remedy for colds, flus, and glandular swelling. It is also important for bone
growth. Colour association: deep inky violet-blue 15E.
Rhodonite immersion is composed manganese silicate and the material used in
the preparation is from New South Wales, Australia. It is the medicine for
those who desire wealth but are too selfish and aggressive in seeking it. For
these people, a sense of generosity and self-sacrifice is developed. Others who
need it may be doing all the ‘right’ things in life but are unable to save or
get ahead in a material way. For them, it opens the flow to abundance. Spiritually, it is indicated for compassion,
selflessness, and the suffering for your beliefs or the greater good.
Physically, it is a great energiser. It is indicated for physical trauma, much
like Arnica montana. Colour association: pinkish red and black.
Ruby immersion is indicated for those who are suffering from the burden of
responsibility in the form of a mission. They tend to take on their life work
in a ‘religious’ way, forsaking the softer and more human aspects of their
being to complete their task. This results in too much masculine or yang energy
in their lives, a wounding of their feminine side. In some situations, there is
focus on money and power with a loss of heart felt feeling. All these states
are resolved by Ruby immersion and a wonderful attunement of heart will come
into play. Physically, it acts on the cardio-vascular system and is indicated
for palpitations, heart disease, and easy hemorrhages. It also has a specific
action on the shoulders and head injuries. Colour association: deep rich red
10C.
Saphire immersion is made from blue sapphires found in Oberon, New South
Wales. It is the medicine for warming the cold heart. Feelings are shut down
from the harsh experiences and traumas of life, from war and violence. This is
often necessary for survival yet, when carried into ordinary life it can become
a hindrance to love, care, and compassion. It allows us to tear away the masks
which hide our true nature. It is also an excellent medicine for creative
ideas; it opens the mind to new perspectives of creativity and different views
of world and its phenomena. Physically, it is a medicine for inflamed
arthritic joints. It is also indicated for tendinitis. Colour association:
deep blue 15-16D.
