Is one or the other of the metals preferable or doesn't it matter, or does it depend on the stone?

I could see something like - Moonstone set with Silver, or Aquamarine set with Silver simply because of the properties of Silver. Or for with Gold - Heliodor or a green stone (I'm thinking along the lines of 'abundance'/'prosperity'). But in the end it's up to the person I feel.
In the book 'The Book of Stones' the authors discuss Silver, Gold, Platinum, Titanium, Niobium, and Copper's metaphysical properties - http://books.google.com/books?id=-46X8VXHA_UC&lpg=PP1&dq=the%20book%20of%20stones&pg=PA252#v=onepage&q=Metals&f=false

Hello
Since this topic is started I thought it might well be a place to add the properties of Silver and Gold.
First off Gold
Gold - Properties and Principals
Just the mention of Gold one things of wealth and power. It was once a main currency and was used in many ceremonies. Today it is used in much the same ways but the value of it has risen as its not as easily accessed as it once was. We often adorn in Gold to show our status and or personal worth.
The color that Gold is in its raw form is due to what other minerals are in it. Natural Gold is yellowish in color. Man has learned that by adding such metals as Silver, Platinum, Nickel, Zinc or even Copper, the color can be changed. This process is done mostly for jewelry. The more Gold content the purer it is. Jewelry is rated from 10 K to 24 K.
Gold is often used to bring in wealth to one. Gold is often used in the magic’s to bind to nature. Gold has a positive vibration to it and in wearing it is said to absorb the energy of the Sun to heal. I wear a bracelet of Gold, Rubies, and Diamonds and it is said to have great healing properties to it.
Gold is commonly used in Dental work for its no corrosive properties. Too it is long lasting and said to aid in the healing of the blood system. Gold as well conducts energy well. Gold is linked to Power, Success, but too healings and protections . Gold is the Sun and the Sun is tied to the Ancient beliefs in the God’s . Gold was an offering and was used to ensure passage to the after life.
The exchange of Gold Rings combines the energy of one to the other in a bond.
Silver :
Properties of Silver
Silver is one of the most common metals used in the making of jewelry. It is less glamorous than Gold so it brings in a more down to Earth presence.
Silver is the metal tied to emotions, psychic mind, LOVe and healings. It is best when combined with turquoise or coral as that is the gem balance for Silver.
The history of Silver does not have the same impacts as the Golden Age and Bronze Age, but it does have a role in history. Silver has been used to keep liquids in a purer state for longer. King Cyrus ( 550 -529 ) BC was one of the first to see the properties of Silver. He would use large Silver vats to store drinking water from streams.
There are many traditions that go to Silver as well. As Silver reflects light it was used by the Egyptians in ceremonies. Later in religions the Chalice was to be made out of Silver, the in Scottish and British history this was to become used for a Beer Stein.
Silver was first openly sought after in about 900 BC on a commercial level. It was widely used in Roman Empire. Some of the Worlds area’s for Silver have been mined out. In our modern times Silver is used for more than just jewelry its in a lot of our electronics and medical devices.
Silver is also used in the Magic’s . It is thought enhance the Moon powers. It is said the Silver reflects away negative energies. It is said it can be used to
Enhance one’s psychic abilities. Silver is said to open one’s dreams if worn to bed.
Energy : Receptor
Powers: LOVe, Psychic abilities, dreams, peace, protections.
Silver is also widely uses in currencies.
Silver is used to open the Third Eye Chakra.
Silver and gemstones, Turquoise, Carnelian, Moonstone, Amethyst, and Quartz. These stones are good for channeling with Silver be it for healing or Spirit Channeling.
