How to Choose Therapeutic Gemstones
With so many gemstone necklaces and tools to select from, how do you choose the best ones for you? The good news: it’s impossible to make a wrong choice. When used properly, every therapeutic gemstone Gemisphere offers will bring uplifting benefits, because all of our gemstones work holistically and in a balanced way. Here are some tips for choosing a gem that best suits your needs and desires.
Step 1: Choose an issue you want to address or a goal you want to achieve.
A good place to start is to consider which areas of your life you would like to support, improve, or enhance. To identify the issues or goals you want to address, ask yourself:
- What types of issues or conditions keep coming up in my life?
- Which areas of my life are most problematic right now?
- In which areas do I want the most support right now?
- How do I want to grow the most?
Step 2: Check out our Gemstone Collections.
While all of Gemisphere’s therapeutic gems work holistically, most gems also have an affinity with one particular aspect of our being—physical, emotional, mental, and so on. This means that certain gems are particularly helpful for addressing specific issues or goals.
Based on your answers above, determine which area is most involved with the issue or goal you want to focus on. Then check out our Gemstone Collections, where we have grouped together gemstones with similar focuses.

Although all therapeutic gemstones work holistically, most gems focus their work primarily on one dimension of our being. Their work on other dimensions supports their main purpose. However, there are some gems whose work is particularly diverse, resulting in profound effects on more than one dimension. For this reason, these gems are especially versatile tools.
Today our changing world presents the human body and spirit with new and unique challenges. Some gemstones help us adapt and even thrive among these rapid changes.
