The Gemstone Apothecary considers the psychology of superstition as found in the belief in healing stones and amuletic jewelry.
Abstracted molecular diagrams of conventional psychopharmacology, botanical medicinals, inkblots, and amulet jewelry references create a framework for the ‘healing’ stones.
Drawing from the efficacy of belief/the placebo and the psycho-social functions of jewelry, The Gemstone Apothecary appraises a reflexive acceptance of beliefs that may help serve as a balm for the human psyche in uncertain times.
