“The most effective gemstone for any malady is the placebo stone. But you have to believe in it for it to work.”

-well there is such a thing as therapy through our senses obviously such as therapy using scents/essential oils that produce a very calming effect and can reduce anxiety and boost mood. Someone here already mentioned that some gems and stones can have a therapeutic calming effect when viewing such as turquoise or others. So at minimum in a way they can help as therapy. The question is if the stones themselves have certain healing properties similar to natural herbs, obviously not by ingesting them : ) since of course Hashem created these natural gems and stones and most natural resources and food have strong properties infused in them whether for healing or good health in general.
