In folklore there is a Roman legend that a king threw
a magnificent Emerald into the sea, to gain the
favours' of the Gods. The next day, the King was
served fish and guess what he found in the belly
of his lunch? The very same Emerald! It is said
that, the Emperor was Augustus and he set this miraculous
stone in a statue of a goddess.
I am not going to recommend that you cast your gems
upon the waters but Emeralds are powerful gemstones.
They relate to the planet Mercury along with Peridot
and Jade.
Emeralds represent the divinity within us and enhance
prosperity, love, kindness, tranquility, balance,
healing and patience. They are strong emotional
balancers. They help open our hearts and directly
relate to the heart chakra.
I always recommend wearing Emeralds as a pendant at
the heart center. It is difficult to find very good
quality Emeralds because they naturally come with
a lot of activity going on inside. As you can see
from the image above, this Emerald is very clean
and it as a Personal Gemstone, which will bring
even more benefits. (c) Rachel Hart, 2004
