The California Homeopath
Journal of the California Homeopathic Medical Society

Peter Tumminello is author of Twelve Jewels, a book which presents experiences, information, case notes, and illustrations of twelve precious and semi-precious gemstones; Amethyst, Black Opal, Diamond, Gold Topaz, Emerald, Lapis Lazulii, Morion, Pearl, Quartz crystal, Rhodonite, Ruby, and Sapphire.

"The information in this article is gathered from 10 years of proving experience and 16 years of prescribing these medicines clinically. Over those 10 proving years a core group of 10 individuals and sixty-six others who attended between one and six provings worked to produce the foundation material which underpins all that I and my associates have written in ‘Twelve Jewels’. In addition to this many hundreds of hours were spent in discussing, distilling, analysing and understanding this material in the light of long term experience and the application of the remedies in a clinical setting. This produced a deeper understanding and the ability to write about these medicines in a grounded and penetrating way in all the arenas that comprise the human epic: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. The results have been gladdening to all who receive and prescribe them with due attention to their enormous healing and transforming potentials."
