Birthstones: May 🌸

We end the birthstone series in May, with one crystal reflecting the new spring growth: the emerald. Let’s discuss its physical and metaphysical properties as we begin the month.

Emerald

Emerald is a type of beryllium aluminium silicate (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), or beryl. However, not every green beryl is classed as an emerald. There's a bit of gemological dispute on where the line is, where some believe that any green beryl is an emerald, but others believe that a true emerald cannot be too light. Its characteristic colour comes from trace amounts of chromium, vanadium, and iron.

Emerald symbolises hope, growth, and renewal. It nurtures the heart, promotes love and balance, and enhances vision and intuition. It is believed to revive passion, boost self-esteem and creativity, and aid mental clarity and memory. Emerald is believed to bring encouragement and abundance, heals heartbreak, and promotes compassion. Emerald may open the heart and encourage living from the heart. Physically, emerald is believed to specifically benefit the physical heart. It is associated with promoting eyesight and can provide relief for eye infections. Additionally, it is believed to support fertility and childbirth.

Emerald, like all beryls, is a 7.5-8 on the Mohs hardness scale. While a bit more fragile than rubies or sapphires, emeralds don't break easy. Since treatments are common, they must only be cleaned with warm, soapy water, and gentle scrubbing.
