Have you ever purchased jewelry and most of the time it sits in a box waiting for a special occasion?  Why not own a functional piece of "jewelry" that will personalize and showcase your vehicle making every day special?  These gemstone shift knobs are truly jewels to be passed from car to car or even heirlooms to be passed from generation to generation.

The vast majority of rocks and minerals are unremarkable, but gemstones are the rare exceptions.  Created over millions of years in special circumstances, they are the rare, tiny fraction.  For most of us, all the gemstones we may ever own might be clutched in one fist.  

Gemstones are reputed to impart positive benefits to their user.  The facts of those claims I'll leave up to you but I know that they have power to soothe.  If I'm stuck in traffic or stressed by life's pressures, a touch or look at one of these shift knobs absolutely purges stress.  Gems this beautiful, rare and timeless put a few extra minutes stuck in traffic in a different perspective.  Do they have this reputation due to the high regard and esteem in which we hold them or is it the other way around? Plastic can make a shift knob that is functional. Wood, leather and metal knobs are also functional but are considered of finer quality than plastic. But, all of those pale in comparison to these beautiful gemstones that are made unique and individual by Mother Nature and not mass produced in a factory.

They resemble hand-sized, dwarf planets made of actual stardust in fantastic blends of color and character. I may never have the chance to physically visit the far corners of the universe, but these little gem globes can take me to distant, alien worlds in my imagination.
