Stories, legends and myths relating to gemstones
and crystals can be found in the ancient sources of every human culture
throughout history. In Judaism, for example, there are legends of a stone that
served as the center for the creation of the entire world. Another legend
relates to the Biblical story of the "stone of dreams" that Jacob used as a
pillow, and that allowed him to see the angels on the ladder to Heaven. All
the apocryphal books, including books of the Bible, include the theme of the
connection between God and various precious stones.
