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.
Consequently, emerald cut diamonds (and all step cut diamonds, for that matter) are likely to be less brilliant and appear less sparkly than round brilliant cut diamonds. However, what an emerald cut diamond lacks in brilliance, it makes up for in quality. An emerald cut is designed to highlight a diamond's clarity and its color. Since an emerald cut is so shallow, inclusions, blemishes and color impurities will be painfully visible. Therefore, only diamonds with the highest Clarity and Color grades will be cut into an emerald shape. Emerald cut diamonds are understandably less versatile than round brilliant cut diamonds. Emerald cut diamond's square shape is more limiting than the classical round brilliant shape.
