They say this word is untranslated because the Jews forgot its meaning, and that it points to Jesus because it says He is the “Alpha and Omega” in Revelation 1:8, which references the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.

God was completely against people using gemstones as charms because it was deceptive. Deuteronomy 18:9-12 makes it clear that God was against fortune-telling, sorcery, looking for omens, witchcraft, casting spells, or functioning as mediums or psychics, calling forth the spirits of the dead. In Ezekiel 13:18-21, God curses those who use these things to deceive his people. Revelation 21:8 and 22:14-15 both have a list of sins that will prohibit people from inheriting the kingdom: sorcery, witchcraft, and such.
