Gemstone is an indica dominant hybrid strain created through a four way cross of the classic Northern Lights X Skunk #1 X Lavender X Sour Diesel strains. This celebrity child is extremely rare and infamous for its glittering gemstone-like appearance. This bud has large and lumpy pepper-shaped sage green nugs that are covered in lots of dark olive green leaves and a thick covering of fiery orange hairs. Each hair and leaf is completely coated in a frosty thick layer of tiny crystal white trichomes and glimmering droplets of super sweet sticky resin.
In addition to its gorgeous appearance, Gemstone has an insanely tasty flavor, too! Gemstone has a taste of sweet tree fruit and herbal tea with just a hint of pungent citrus that hangs around after exhale.
The aroma is surprisingly mild, with a lavender bouquet that has a slightly skunky smell that’s released as the nugs are broken apart and burned. The Gemstone high is equally as enticing as its appearance and smell, with effects that are characteristically relaxed and euphoric in nature. It starts with an uplifting head buzz that boosts your mood instantly and puts you in a dreamy creative state with just a slight hint of hazy focus.
This is accompanied by a slowly building body buzz that hits you out of nowhere with a relaxing body melt, helplessly locking you to any seat and leaving you slightly sedated and barely functional.
These effects and its high THC level of 19-21% on average make Gemstone perfect for treating conditions such as chronic stress, nausea, mild to moderate cases of depression, and insomnia.
