Diamonds
Diamonds are a Girl's Best friend, or so we are told.
The use of diamonds can be traced back around to 25,000 to 30,000 B.C. (I don't even know what that means; I only know it was a long, long, LONG time ago.)
Since diamonds are rare, they are said to symbolize love and fidelity. They are purity and innocence, and represent character strength, faithfulness and ethics. There are sparks of energy that surrounds a diamond, and inspires creativity.
The diamond has been associated with the planet Venus or the planet Mars, depending upon which ancient people we are discussing.
Metaphysically, it is considered the most powerful crystal and can open more doors within oneself than any other stone. While I am in no way an expert in any of those things, I have seen the Hope Diamond, and I am sure many a spiritual door was opened with that beauty. I know every woman around me at the exhibit in the National Museum of Natural History had their noses pressed to the glass in order to gaze upon the rich blues in that particular stone.
Diamonds come in a range of colors, but all diamonds sparkle and shine with a fiery rainbow when the sun hits them.
