Said to enhance the love a husband for his wife, it is seen as a sign of commitment and fidelity. Diamond has been a symbol of wealth for thousands of years and is one of the stones of manifestation, attracting abundance. The larger the Diamond, the more abundance there is. A large Diamond is also excellent for blocking geopathic or electromagnetic stress and for protection against cell phones.
 
Diamond is an amplifier of energy; it is one of the few stones that never needs recharging. It cleanses the energy of whatever it comes into contact with and is very effective when used with other crystals for healing as it enhances their power. Diamonds are particularly effective when worn as jewellery.
