Emerald

An Introduction to Emerald

Emerald is a vibrant green form of Beryl, which means it is related to both Aquamarine and Morganite. Its beautiful coloring comes from chromium, vanadium, and iron within the Beryl.

This May Birthstone has been prized for centuries, from Ancient Egypt, to South America, where they became the envy of the Spanish conquistadors upon discovering the beautiful jewelry worn by the the leaders of native communities.

The vibrant green hue aligns Emerald with the heart chakra, romance, honesty, loyalty and fertility. It pairs well with other heart chakra and love crystals, as well as those for increasing abundance and communicating clearly and honestly.
