Garnet is the traditional January birthstone and comes in many varieties and colors - wine red, pink, orange, peach, green, black, brown and iridescent.  Not only does it make beautiful jewelry when faceted, but it is considered to be an excellent stone for increasing vitality and prosperity.  We will be having all of our garnets on sale until January 31 - 20% off all specimen garnets, 30% off all jewelry and 50% off selected polished garnets.

This pair of gorgeous amethyst cathedrals graced us here at the Emporium until they found their new home.  Amethyst is the traditional February birthstone.  For centuries amethyst has been prized as a gemstone - the rich colors of purple and lavendar are impossible to resist.  Amethyst is believed to convey divine protection and inspiration.  Here at the Emporium we have amethysts from all over the world - geodes and cathedrals from Brazil, elestials from India and Kenya, enhydros from Namibia and deep purple cave flowers from Bolivia.  From February 1 - February 29, all of our lovely amethyst will be on sale, with 30% off all amethyst jewelry, 30% off geodes, rings and cathedrals and 20% off druse, points and elestials.
