Emerald, known for its rich green colour, is associated with wealth, health and prosperity. About Emerald Emerald is a green mineral of the beryl family. Beryl is a silicate mineral which forms six-sided crystals in a hexagonal system. The colour of an emerald can range from light to dark green with some specimens being almost translucent. Emerald has a long history as a precious stone and ancient jewellery featuring emeralds have been dated at over 3000 years old. Apparently Cleopatra loved the stone and the Aztecs considered it holy. The ancient Greeks associated the emerald with the Goddess Aphrodite and wore emerald jewellery in her honour. Polished emeralds are expensive but it’s possible to find unpolished raw stones for a fraction of the price which will work just as well in terms of their magickal benefits. Polished emeralds are pricey but you can find unpolished stones for a fraction of the price to incorporate into your magickal practice Emerald Energy Prosperity, abundance, vitality, health and healing. Emerald Magical Uses The emerald, with its vivid green hue, represents the planet and mother earth in all her glory. It is a stone of love and healing and its vibrations will help you to connect with the magical life force which permeates our planet. Use the stone to help you to focus on your well being and it will bring love, abundance and healing into your life. If you wish to bring romantic love into your life hold an emerald in your hand and charge it with a clear visualisation of the love you wish to enjoy. It would be beneficial to light a small green candle near you while you visualise. Wear the emerald close to your skin after you have charged it and continue to wear it and charge it with your magical intention until you have met your love. If the colour of an emerald you have been wearing changes from dark to light green it is thought to be a sign of unfaithfulness. To enhance your business prospects wear an emerald set in gold or silver on one of your index fingers and visualise it connecting you to a stream of abundance and prosperity.
