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.
The Emerald is a member of the Beryl (beryllium aluminum silicate) family. The crystal structure of the emerald, the February birthstone, is hexagonal. Elements of chromium in the crystal produce the color, whilst inclusions in the stone create what is called the jardin, or garden, of the emerald. For those who were born in the month of May the Emerald is the traditional birthstone.
