Stone: Emerald
Color: Green
Associated Element: Earth
Energy: Receptive
Magickal Powers/Uses: Emeralds have been associated with
love for thousands of years. They are the stones of Venus, the Roman
goddess of love, and are said to promote domestic bliss, faithfulness,
and devotion. Emeralds are also used for general physical healing,
but particularly in healing diseases of the eye. They stimulate
the brain, memory, aid in problem solving, and are utilized in magickal
work relating to business matters. Ancient lore states that emeralds
were used to exorcise evil from those thought to be possessed, and
they are commonly used for protection. Emeralds were widely utilized
as spiritual stones and decorative adornments by the ancient Egyptians.
Emerald is a form of beryl that achieves its bright green color
from the inclusion of chromium and iron in the stone. They are quite
expensive, but low quality stones which are unsuitable for cutting
as gemstones are often available. They are found in Colombia and
Africa.
