Hannah’s Reflections - Emerald
Hi, I am Hannah.
Each week I will be researching Gemstone Families, and writing my findings here, so you can learn with me.
To start it off, I will be writing about Emerald which is in The Beryl Family.
Just a little history on Emeralds -
Emeralds, known for their captivating green color and lustrous appearance, have fascinated mankind for centuries due to their rich cultural significance.
In various ancient civilizations, emeralds were revered as symbols of rebirth and fertility. For instance, in Egyptian mythology, emeralds were associated with the goddess Isis, who represented life and resurrection.
Additionally, these precious gems held great importance in Greek mythology as they were believed to possess healing powers and promote harmony.
Not surprisingly, emeralds have been linked to concepts such as love, wisdom, growth, and renewal across different cultures throughout history.
Emerald is known as the “stone of love and compassion.” It can assist in healing emotional wounds and promoting forgiveness, both towards oneself and others.
Here are some of my favorite healing properties and benefits of Emerald:
Emerald is thought to align one’s energies with the natural world, fostering a deep sense of appreciation and connection to nature. (This one really interests me, and definitely want to try it out as I know I need to connect with nature more.)
It enhances spiritual growth and wisdom, helping individuals connect with their higher self and the divine.
This stone is said to bring mental agility and stimulate the mind, making it helpful for students, writers, and those in creative professions. (Maybe having this stone will help me with writing this! )
Emerald is thought to have numerous physical healing properties. It is believed to support the heart and circulatory system, promoting overall cardiovascular health. This stone is said to have a detoxifying effect on the body, aiding in the elimination of toxins and enhancing liver and kidney function. Emerald is also believed to support the immune system, improve vision, and alleviate ailments. (Wow, that’s a lot of physical healing properties.)
Look at that clarity!
