EMERALD (real genuine natural faceted)

Emerald derives from the Greek word smargos, meaning “green stone,” but the oldest known mine is Egyptian, dating back to 3000 BCE. Emeralds were traditionally bound to the left arm to protect travelers or given to people to exorcise their demons. Said to protect from enchantment and the ploys of magicians, it foretold the future. Known as the “Stone of Successful Love,” Emerald brings domestic bliss and loyalty; enhances unity, unconditional love and partnership; and promotes friendship. If it changes color, it is said to signal unfaithfulness. A life-affirming stone with great integrity, Emerald enhances mental equilibrium and metaphysical abilities.
Note: Do not wear constantly, as it can overstimulate.
