Physical 

As we mentioned, Aristotle was convinced that Emerald could help ward off the ‘falling sickness’ AKA epilepsy and it is still believed that the green gem can help to stabilize this condition. But even beyond epilepsy, Emerald can bring its regenerating rays to all parts of the body. It can help soothe headaches, allergies, and all manner of skin rashes and ailments. It can also strengthen the eyes, sharpen memory, and help to temper gastric issues too. With its rejuvenating energy, it is also said to have the power to freshen up tired organs. From the liver to the beautiful beat of your heart, Emerald brings strength and power to all parts of the body. Emerald was also believed to be a stone of luck and fertility so for all those setting out on this journey, this could be a trusted talisman to carry with you.

Mental & Emotional Healing 

Emerald is called the stone of eternal love and this also feeds into unconditional love too. It’s a crystal that calls to the heart and clears out any weight or dark energy that could be clogging up your emotional system. Back to that vibrant and rejuvenating energy - for those times when you feel slumped or overwhelmed or as though you are trapped in victim narratives or when you have lost your personal power, the Emerald stone will lend a hand and lift you right back up. While we sometimes see Emerald as a weighty wealthy wonder, its luminous properties and calming hues of green actually give it a lightness that can transfer to your own body and mind. With that sense of lightness comes the power of play, the spring birth of something new, and an authentic connection with a willingness to let in those that you love. Emerald is a great gem for those wanting to deepen their relationships and throw down their fear when it comes to commitment issues. 

Metaphysical Properties 

The calming shades of green remind us of the deep sigh of relief that comes with spring after a cold hard winter. This is also reflective of how Emerald can feel in your soul. Emerald is a heart chakra stone, meaning that it is always here to help clear that tightly wound space around your heart and to make sure that you aren’t throwing up any roadblocks to love and self-care in your own way. 

When our heart chakra is closed or out of balance we may feel timid in our approach to people. We may struggle with empathy or compassion and we may judge ourselves and others too harshly. We may also have problems with forgiveness and trust which can keep us closed off and locked in loneliness. When our heart chakra is wide open, we can trust in our own choices, we can love deep and wide, and we practice healthy self-care and compassion, cutting out the inner editor, and making sure that we remain kind and considerate to others and to ourselves. With this practice comes the chance for deepening into divine love and saying yes to universal blessings. There are also themes of eternity tied up in the Emerald stone which speaks to our sense of spiritual timelessness and letting go of mortal fears. heart chakra

Colombian Emeralds

Colombia is famous for high-quality Emeralds with residents who truly understand the Emerald stone meaning and Emerald benefits. It is the world’s largest producer of rough emeralds, accounting for approximately 50–95% of global production, depending on the year and quality. From 2000 – 2010, Colombian output steadily increased by 78%.

During the 19th and 20th centuries, these mines closed down several times due to the tumultuous political situation in the western belt of the country.

Zambian Emeralds

Zambian Emeralds are one of the contenders for the best emerald in the world. They have significantly higher iron content, leading to a richer and deeper color. They go for high prices in the emerald market and are a core part of many people’s collections.

International demand for Zambian emeralds rose after major mines were discovered in the Kafubu area in Zambia in the 2000s.

Emeralds are formed by hydrothermal processes associated with magma and also by metamorphism. Colombian emerald deposits are found in biotite schists, clay shales, limestones, with pegmatites.

These emeralds are usually treated with epoxy raisins or oils to improve clarity and fill cracks in the gem. Such treated emeralds are called Synthetic Emeralds and are not considered as valuable as natural Colombian emeralds.
