Emeralds are actually a green form of
beryl. The colour can range from a light lime green, to a deep
forest green. The deeper, more vivid colours are most prized. The
emerald is a receptive stone associated with the planet of
Venus and the earth element.
The power of emeralds has a dual effect on the mind. In the
conscious mind, emeralds strengthen memory retention, understanding
and aid in eloquency. In the subconscious, they increase the psychic
awareness.
Due to this duality, emeralds are believed to grant their wearers
of knowledge in past, present and future. For best results, ancient
magicians believed that the stone should be set in either silver or
copper.
The soothing colour of this gem allows it to be used as a gazing
stone. Looking at it is said to strengthen the eyes and relieve
tiredness or blearyness in the optical organs to restore normal
sight.
