The 12 stones of the breastplate were inlaid in the vest of the high priest and they represented the 12 tribes of Israel.
The connection between the 12 stones turned the entire array into a particularly powerful energetic tool that enabled the communication between the High Priest and the Creator and between the High Priest and the tribes of Israel.
Each of the stones embedded in the breastplate is a world. Each has its own properties and virtues while in their material value the stones are completely different from each other, but here lies the strength and beauty of the set of stones, which places precious stones next to semi-precious stones as equal. Of this we learn that they were chosen not because of their material value but rather because of their energetic strength.
The breastplate stones have many virtues resulting from the contribution and uniqueness of each stone. In the Zohar it is written that great wonder and great wisdom will be found in the secret of the 12 stones of the breastplate.
Rabbeinu Bahya ben Asher (Ba’hi) : Every stone and stone will draw strength from the upper worlds and is blessed by the rains.
The jewel of the breastplate provides a private sanctity that surrounds you with the help of the frequencies and the connection between them, each of which has its own qualities and virtues but together create a powerful tool for attracting abundance, blessing and a connection to the Creator.
