Beliefs About Gemstones

Gemstones are not only used as decorations in clothes, bags, jewelries and other decorative purposes, but also there are beliefs tied to them even during the ancient time. 
Opals bring disasters, rubies remove evil thoughts in our minds, turquoise brings good fortune- these are just some of the superstitions that people follow about gemstones. These superstitions already existed through the ancient times. Sometimes, these beliefs differ from other beliefs. For example, the Europeans during the middle ages believed that the diamonds were symbols of the sun and innocence. However, in Persia, people believed that these are sources of wrongdoings and have been created by evil itself. 
Marriage
Turquoise used to be popular to avoid disagreement between a couple. Aquamarine promotes the love of both people. Topaz is a representation for loyalty. A diamond must even be given to the lover or the value of the diamond will be lost. An emerald is a symbol of success in love and usually used as an engagement ring. 
Medicine
These gemstones have also been related to preventing and curing diseases and illnesses. Amethyst is said to be good in getting rid of headaches and toothache. Diamonds are believed to be used to cure leprosy, insanity and even your worst nightmares. A blood stone or ruby is placed on the wound to likely stop the blood. Agate lessens the fever. A carnelian fixes loose teeth (this is famous among the aged). Some people also believed that it can cure tumors and strengthens our voices. Opals or Sapphires gives back your once clear eyesight.
Protection
They were also believed to be used in driving against things like evil. Sapphire was believed to be good in driving away evil thoughts and instead, pureness. The Hindus used pearls as charms against evil. The garnet prevents a person from being wounded or injured.

Ethnic Groups of the World




Pashthuns
People also call them as Afghan, Pakhtun, Pathan and Pushtun, Hindustani Pathan, Persian Afghan and Pashto-speaking people. They are a big part of the total population of people in Afghanistan and already had the name from the first six letters of the country before it was named as that. Historians and other researchers are still scratching their head how this large ethnic group really began. However, their tradition depicts that they are descendants from the son of the son of King Saul from Israel. However, other people strongly assumes that they came from the Aryans who invaded before. Every ethnic group has their own men who are relative to another person. When they have arguments about wealth, women and even direct damages can cause bloody battles among the families and even the whole tribe. The sons and daughters will follow the teachings of their parents and will continue what unfinished business they have with the other family until it is finished. However, some are being stopped by a council and the leaders of each clan.
Han
Not only it is the largest in China, but also throughout the world. 92 percent of China's population came from this group. They can be found living in some of the rivers of China specifically the famous ones like the Yellow River(they also call it as the protector of their civilization), Yangtze River and the Pearl River. When it comes to literature and language, they have their own way of speaking to each other as well as writing. They existed for more than 4 000 years and thus one of the ancient cultures of the world aside from the ones found in the Europe. The word Han originally came from one of the greatest dynasties before.
