First, a Story About Assumptions
People ask me how to use Gemstone Therapy to manifest money and abundance more than you might expect. And I have a lot to say about it.
What comes to mind right away is a client I worked with several years ago who wanted to explore this very question, “How to manifest money,” in a series of Gemstone Therapy sessions. She wanted to make more cash.
This is when I learned not to make assumptions about people seeking gemstone healing for financial goals.
In our second session, I discovered that her real problem was quite different from what I had imagined.
She was actually quite wealthy — but her millions were tied up in long-term assets, and her available cash was dwindling. What she wanted help with was clearing the greed that had prompted her to lock everything away in pursuit of a higher rate of return.
So when someone asks how to manifest money using Gemstone Therapy, I don’t assume where they’re coming from.
The Real Question
If you were drawn to reading this article and are wondering how gemstones can energetically support your quest for financial health, I suggest first discovering what your real question is.
Is it really more cash? Or greater financial independence? Or like my client, was it overcoming greed?
Getting clear about what you want from life sets the mold that life’s energy can then fill.
What I do know is this: money is a gift of spirit. And as a gift of spirit, it is — like all such gifts — abundant and omnipresent. The real question for many people, then, is not “how do I get more money?” but rather: what is standing in the way of my receiving it?
That question, however, brings up a conundrum.
I’ve learned that it’s not a good idea to tell spirit how to reveal itself, because spirit knows more about us than we know about ourselves. Health, happiness, comfort, and money are all gifts of spirit. It knows better than we do which we need most, and in what order. Having come close to death more times than I care to count, I’ve learned to be genuinely grateful for what I have — and the most precious gift of all is life itself.
A More Useful Question
Rather than asking “what’s in the way of receiving more money,” it may be more useful to ask yourself: what do I need to change or strengthen within myself to move forward?
Whether your path involves getting a job, building a business, or creating something to offer the world — what qualities within yourself would you like to strengthen, nourish, or vitalize to take those steps? What will help you move forward toward fulfilling your vision? And more to the core: what will help you learn to receive?
This is where healing gemstones can help: they nourish the energetic aspects of yourself that allow you to do all these things. Because when these aspects of you are depleted, it’s difficult to make any improvements in your life at all.
What I Wore While Building My Own Business
When I founded GEMFormulas in 2009, I had a great deal of passion but not much experience. Between 2010 and 2012, I discovered how profoundly gemstones could support me at every turn and in every decision.
In those early years, I relied on Ruby & Onyx to give me confidence in my decision-making, and Dark Green Aventurine & Tsavorite to sustain me through the long hours of building both GEMFormulas and the Gemstone Therapy Institute. Lapis Lazuli & Pyrite helped me connect my heart and mind so that my decisions were both clear and grounded.

Even today, having achieved some degree of success, I am always wearing healing gemstone necklaces.
Gemstones for Every Stage of the Journey
Many of my clients who are building businesses wear Amethyst & White Beryl to help them handle the risk-taking that entrepreneurship requires and the anxieties that can accompany it.
Those who need help overcoming fear, overwhelm, or undue stress often find relief with Green Nephrite Jade & Prehnite — a combination I wear almost every day. These gems contribute to the core strength and stamina that help me step forward, hopefully with courage and wisdom.
Those who have already achieved some success may find that Ruby & White Beryl increases forward momentum in a powerful way, bringing greater motivation and inspiration. I love wearing this combination when I have a great deal to accomplish — when it calls to me, I know it’s time to get stuff done.
At the moment, I am wearing Emerald & White Beryl for some physical reasons, but I also appreciate its quality of helping you receive — to genuinely accept the success you have already achieved.
And Rutilated Quartz & Spessartite is a combination I reach for when I want to communicate my message in the very best way I possibly can.
How to Find the Right Gemstone For You
How to Find the Right Gemstone — and How to Work With It
Begin with a question: What gemstone do I need to cultivate the courage, the strength, the stamina, and the ability to receive (whatever you’ve decided you’re looking for)?
Then listen — and pay attention to which gems call out to you.
Once you’ve found one that resonates, the approach is simple. Remember what you want help with, ask the gemstone to support you in growing into that, and then wear it with that intention in mind. This is true of any gemstone, worn for any purpose.
And of course, don’t expect overnight results. It takes time to release the patterns and habits that have been keeping you from your goals, and time to develop the strength, stamina, and awareness to make the decisions that will move you toward them. It takes time to grow into the person you are becoming — and there is so much to discover along the way.
Be patient with the process. The gemstones will meet you where you are, and then give you the nourishment and energetic support to grow the way you want to.
