The power of this lush crystal stirs the soul like the heart of spring.

A diamond may be forever, but an emerald is divine. The emerald is thought to possess phenomenal powers of healing, luck, and love. Unlike the diamond, the emerald revealed itself early and abundantly to humankind almost 6,000 years ago.
