In Sacred Crystals' Teaching

Emerald is a stone of love and a symbol of hope, often used for divination and prophecy — seeing the future. It brings the wearer reason and wisdom. Healers work with Emerald for the heart, and it is most powerful under the full Moon.

The Emerald vibrates with love. It supports memory and clear thinking, and it is also a stone of prosperity and abundance — and a Free Will Stone: seeing what is coming without being bound by it.

Emerald is the colour of nature, and it carries a calm and peaceful spirit.

Chakra: Heart.

About the Stone

Emerald is the green gem variety of beryl, coloured by chromium or vanadium, and the same mineral as Aquamarine and Morganite — each its own stone. Its characteristic inclusions and healed fractures are called the jardin, the garden, and they are expected rather than damage. Chiefly from Colombia, Zambia, Brazil and Ethiopia. May's birthstone.

Wearing & Care

Put earrings on last, after perfume, lotion and hairspray, and take them off for showers, swimming and sleep. Keep the pair together in a pouch so the stones don't rub against other jewelry. Sterling silver tarnishes slowly in air; a silver polishing cloth keeps it bright. Hard but brittle: the garden inside it means a sharp knock can chip it, and most emeralds are oil- or resin-filled, so no ultrasonic, no steam, no hot water, no solvents. Cool water and a soft cloth; take a ring off for hand-washing and housework. Cleanse it with moonlight — the full Moon especially.

A Note on Your Selection

Every stone is natural, so no two pairs are exactly the same — colour, pattern and depth vary a little from one to the next. You will receive one pair similar to the one pictured, chosen with care by a Sacred Crystals caretaker.
