Crystal System... Emerald has a hexagonal crystal system and is in the mineral class of ring silicates in the beryl family. It is formed in a magmatic process, in pegmatites or through metamorphosis in the contact zone between rocks that contain berylium and chromium.
Coming from the beryl family which also brings us Aquamarine, it can be found in shades of green varying from light to dark. I should mention that there have been some healing benefits from the man-made types (found in most of today's fine jewelry), but nothing as beneficial as a natural stone. Our bodies find it much more difficult to assimilate the energy of the man-made types, and of course they do not contain all the extra elements supplied by naturally formed gems. |

Zodiac Affinity... Folklore... There are some old accounts that tell about Emerald being brought to earth by the Lords of Flame from the planet Venus. Despite this unauthenticated origin, Emerald is an important stone to anyone who works in science or healing.
Emeralds are often times used in business spells and rituals to promote sales and to increase a public awareness of a company or service. In ancient times, there are accounts of this stone being bound to the left arm to guard travelers. I have to say I prefer Turquoise for that task though. It had also been given to those considered to be possessed to exorcise the evil within them. In later times it has been discovered that those persons may have been epileptic or asthmatic and probably not possessed.
