Three Tenango Trading partners with Guatemalan Artisans to create more than beautiful things; we focus on building relationships, strengthening communities, and invest in sustainable businesses. Proceeds go to help with water supply, food, clothing and churches in Guatemala! For millennia, people have used gemstones principally for ornamental purposes. However, in both ancient and modern times, cultures all over the world have also believed that gems can have healing properties. Some people use gems as part of their spiritual practices. They incorporate gems into rituals to restore energy fields, gain peace, and promote love and safety. In some belief systems, practitioners actually place gemstones on certain areas of the body to promote healing. For most people, however, simply wearing a piece of jewelry made with a specific gem is sufficient. The gem doesn't need to come into direct contact with your skin.
