Emerald is one of the most powerful and sought-after healing gemstones, used for thousands of years by civilizations for physical healing and heart-centered courage. This stone supports emotional balance, resilience, and the strength to follow one’s heart with integrity and devotion.
EMERALDS THROUGHOUT HISTORY
Egyptians, including Cleopatra, mined Emeralds as early as 1500 BCE for jewelry and protective talismans. During her reign, the queen claimed ownership of all Emerald mines, using them to showcase power and for diplomatic gifts. Emeralds were frequently placed on mummies, including in Tutankhamen's tomb, to represent eternal youth.
In South and Central America, the Incas and Aztecs regarded Emeralds as the sacred "Gem of the Gods". Viewed as holy, these civilizations used them in religious ceremonies and as offerings. When the Spanish conquered South America, they discovered massive emerald wealth, which allowed the stones to become famous throughout Europe and Asia.
In Vedic astrology, Emeralds are linked to Mercury and are believed to enhance intellect and communication. Indian maharajas and royalty used emeralds in jewelry and turbans. One of the most famous Emeralds is the "Taj Mahal Emerald," a 380-carat Colombian emerald carved depicting a chrysanthemum, lotus, and Mughal poppy flowers dating back to the 17th century.
EMERALDS + NUMEROLOGY
Emerald vibrates with Number 4, the number of structure, stability, and well-being. We picture Number 4 as a table, with four distinct legs supporting each side of the structure. Like the Number 4, Emerald strengthens the foundation so the heart can open and lead safely.
The energy of certain stones resonates more deeply depending on your personal numerology. Through numerology readings with our Numerologist in Residence, Brandi Ashman, so many of our clients have discovered which stones naturally align with their unique energetic blueprint.
WHY WE USE EMERALDS
Sacha, one of LOVE SARO’S co-founders (“SA” in SARO), wears an Emerald over her heart in a solid gold chain to amplify its heart opening properties and to help her lead with courage. We recommend this stone to help clients invite in unconditional self love and emotional harmony.
We are drawn to Emerald for its ability to bring the emotional body back into balance. It supports unconditional self-love, helping to soothe self-criticism and create space for deeper acceptance. For those moving through relationship shifts, healing old patterns, or simply learning to trust their own heart again, Emerald offers a grounding presence.
This is a stone we often recommend when someone is ready to lead from the heart in a more intentional way, whether that means opening up, setting boundaries, or choosing to speak your truth.
