Emerald is the lush green variety of beryl, coloured by chromium and vanadium, and one of the most precious gemstones. Its rich green, often with natural inclusions called the 'jardin', is prized above almost all others. Fine emeralds come from Colombia, Zambia and Brazil; it was beloved of Cleopatra and ancient royalty.
Emerald is the great stone of the heart, radiating love, abundance and deep emotional wisdom. It opens and nurtures the heart, fostering unconditional love, compassion and loyalty. It attracts prosperity, growth and good fortune, aligning abundance with the heart. A stone of wisdom and truth, it supports honest, loving relationships and heartfelt communication. It brings harmony, hope and the courage to love and give generously.
