Emerald gets its name from the Greek word smaragdos, which means “green stone”. In Ancient Rome, Emeralds were considered a fertility stone of the Goddess Venus, otherwise known as Aphrodite in Ancient Greece. Christians considered Emerald a resurrection jewel. Other qualities through the ages have been ascribed to Emeralds such as curing diseases, removing fear, and improved memory. Emeralds have the purest green of all the green stones. Green is also the color that represents the heart chakra. 

One can use emeralds to open up to receiving abundance and connection to divine love. It’s extremely powerful in aiding one to change their mindset from one of scarcity to one of prosperity. It’s an ultimate crystal to help connect with the Universe and trust in Divine Guidance, as well as enabling a better grasp on expressing gratitude.
