About This Quiz

There are countless gemstones in the world to suit nearly every style and taste. Some of them are appealing to us because of how rare they are, some are appealing for the power they possess and others maybe just look so beautiful we can't resist them. We've used gemstones for years in jewelry to add some flair and beauty - diamonds are a relatively recent addition to the world of stones and were never considered to be that important until the diamond industry convinced everyone they were. Before that, it was the colorful stones like ruby, emerald, sapphire and amethyst that held people's imaginations because they were so striking and bold. 

Whether you just admire stones for their natural beauty or you believe they hold powers that can heal the body and the spirit, the stones you're drawn to can say a lot about who you are as a person. And since these stones are very often linked to things like jewelry, and often romance, it's not too much of a stretch to say your taste in stones may be linked to who you are on a romantic level. With that in mind, why not tell us a bit about the stones you like and we'll use that info to figure out just what kind of lover you are.
