Emerald




This very precious stone opens the heart chakra, bringing harmony, sensitivity and loyalty and creating a feeling of bliss. Its fragility reminds us that the hearts of other can be fragile as well, and helps us to be gentle with those around us. It brings stability and is powerful in wealth magick. It is also used to strengthen the memory.

This is perhaps the most popular and most highly prized form of beryl. Brilliant green emerald is an Earth Mother stone, a stone of Nature, and therefore heightens our ability to be ecology-conscious.

Creative imagination, prosperity, protection, love and fertility are increased by the emerald. Wear an emerald ring on the index finger of the receptive hand to relieve or prevent disease, or against the throat to gently calm and balance all seven chakras at once.

Gaze at the emerald to soothe tired eyes, or keep emeralds in the northernmost corner of the home to keep out evil spirits.

The best emerald crystals come from India. Choose specimens that are colored medium to dark transparent green or blue-green. Inclusions are common and do not negatively effect the quality of the stone.
