Read our Sourcing Standards →Emerald is green beryl, and rough emerald doesn't always look like the jewelry store version. Our pieces are natural, unpolished or lightly shaped, showing the crystal form and the internal inclusions that come with the stone.
Sourced directly from Bahia, Brazil. Worth knowing: a lot of the emerald on the market is stabilized. What we carry is natural and untreated.
In crystal traditions, emerald is often associated with opening to connection, with yourself and others, openness to what comes your way, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. Work with it the way that fits your own practice.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
