Happy Tuesday everyone! And welcome to our second week of
green-gem-packed month! As much as I love winter, I’m very excited for the
beginning of spring. With slightly warmer weather approaching the Ohio River
Valley this past weekend, discussing another spring gem seems completely
fitting. This week we’re going to learn more about the stunning Emerald.
This great gem can help to promote friendship, create
balance within relationships, and can even create domestic bliss and loyalty.
Emerald is also associated with the heart and Heart Chakra. The birthstone for
those born in May and June, Emerald is known to embody compassion and
unconditional love.
Emerald has also been believed to give its wearer the
ability to foresee future events. This awesome gem is a stone of wisdom, which
can help promote memory and increase mental clarity. Additionally, Emeralds can
increase your focus and intent. Emeralds are particularly effective in the work
place because it can increase mental acuity, strengthen your memory and inspire
eloquence in speech.
In ancient times, Emeralds were used to honor the goddess
Venus. Interestingly, Emeralds were sold in markets in Babylon as early as
4,000 B.C. Also, the Incas who believed
the beautiful gem contained a goddess worshiped Emeralds. This beautiful stone
was believed to be a symbol of eternal life in ancient Egypt and was even a
favorite jewel of Cleopatra. Emeralds were talismans for Aristotle, Alexander
the Great, Charlemagne, and moguls of India.
Emeralds have been used to honor a number of other goddesses
as well. Including, Annapurna, the Hindu goddess of food, kitchens and cooks. Astarte,
the Phoenician goddess of fertility, love and war, has also been honored using
Emeralds. This gem has been used to honor three Celtic goddesses of sovereignty,
Banbha, Eriu, and Fodla. Finally, Emeralds were used to honor Persephone, the
Greek goddess of spring.
This great gem can help to cure a number of aliments
including treating lungs, liver, gall bladder, and the spine and muscle system.
Additionally, Emeralds can help to combat aging. This gem is considered by some
people to be the best gem for treating the eyes and restoring eyesight.
Emeralds are also useful in healing emotional troubles and can fill you with energy
of hope, encouragement, and abundance. Emeralds are also often used in
meditation.
