The Healing Power of Emeralds. Emeralds: Part of the Beryl family (see above) Emerald is an important stone to anyone who works in science or healing, found in shades of green varying from very light to very deep. Healing properties: said to provide inspiration and help those in need of balance, healing, and infinite patience. The pale, clear, green Emeralds are valuable in meditative work as well as healing. Works best combined with a diamond or alone. Said to give wisdom from the mental plane so the possessor is motivated to give love and wisdom to others.
Highly valued as gemstones, emeralds are a grass-green variety of beryl. The capacity of emeralds to deflect light and to break white light into its component colors is not high, so cut stones display little brilliancy or fire (flashes of color). The color that gives this gem its value comes from the presence of small amounts of chromium. The most important production of fine-quality gem material is Colombia; emeralds are also mined in Russia, Australia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Synthetic emeralds are identical to natural crystals and may rival them in color and beauty.
