Diamond
Diamond has always been a very popular stone, even though it is only in the past few centuries that modern cutting techniques have revealed its full glory. The ancient Greeks and Romans wore raw Diamond as a talisman that bestowed honour, courage and daring. The high regard they had for the magical power of the stone is obvious, because unpolished it is quite an ugly rock. The hardest known stone, Diamond is unchangeable even by fire and because of this it is an age-old symbol of permanence and the immortality of the soul. Magically represents the power of love and all strong emotions. Enhances strength, wisdom, pride and confidence and helps us strive for purity and perfection. Used in spells to gain fame, influence and power it is the perfect stone for those who are tired of hiding their light under a bushel and long for the recognition they feel they deserve. Used magically it can be very powerful for these matters, but be sure that you can deal with the pressure of being in the spotlight and that you will be drawn to the attention of the rich and powerful for the right reasons! Combats sorcery, possession, negativity and self-doubt. Releases those possessed by demons (whether they be magical or psychological. Often classed as a Solar stone it also has an affinity with Mars and its greatest powers are released when it is used in conjunction with iron, so add a little Pyrite, Haematite or Lodestone to any Diamond charm bag or spell.

Kimberlite
Kimberlite is the host rock for Diamond. Diamonds need pressures in excess of 50,000 atmospheres to grow, which occur at a depth of more than 90 miles (150 km) below the surface of the Earth. Kimberlite is an unusual volcanic rock in which most Diamonds grow. No Kimberlite volcanoes have erupted for more than 60 million years but if one did it would be devastating because the speed needed to bring Diamonds to the surface of the Earth from that depth in one piece is more than the speed of sound! Kimberlite is a stone of elemental Fire, and symbolises Fires ability to purify and transform other substances, creating beautiful diamonds from plain rocks. Symbolises the spiritual evolution of a persons soul and is a very useful stone for anyone who is striving to improve their nature. Kimberlite helps a person to walk their talk and follow the path of magic and spirituality that they believe in.
