		Human beings have a long and ancient fascination for gemstones so it is not surprising to find Cayce speaking of them, although precious and semi-precious gemstones do not figure in other recent revelatory traditions, such as those of the Mesmerists and Spiritualists of nineteenth century America.
		However, the title attribution of "sacred stones" is inappropriate since the author is skeptical about the esoteric significance of gemstones, but at least she accurately reports the traditions held about them in the past, and she recites what she considers the mistakes of the present day New Age interpreters of these stones.
		But, even though many find them the most mysterious of the semi-precious gemstones Cayce recommended, it remains that most of them are quite well known and enjoyed widely today, even though in Cayce's readings, he really recommended any stone only for specific persons and for specific attunements with their very own person.
