Letter G - Gray Gemstones

Winter, I think of cold and gray most of the time.  It can be a white snow or a rare blue sky with lots of sunshine winter kind of day.  Is it Gray or Grey?  Did you know that gemstones come in beautiful dove grays?  What we would normally think of as bland,  can be a lovely color that mixes well with any other color you chose to wear. 

Gray Agate is one of my favorite gemstone, especially when it is faceted giving it a transparency - a soft winter cloud.  Gray Jasper is another one of my favs, it usually comes in opaque layers with other colors.  Jasper can have a very unique design in the stone, giving you a one of a kind look.  Try grays, I don't think you will be disappointed.  It has a tranquil, peaceful effect on a cold and gray winter day.  So when Spring comes, we are ready for a change - pastel colors (which also goes with grays).
