Emerald, a green form of Beryl, derives its name from the Latin "smaragdus," meaning green stone. This variant of Beryl encapsulates pure forms of compassion, healing, love, and sensuality. The rich tapestry of history woven around Emerald only enhances its mystical allure as a gem of profound significance. 
 
Its distinctive colors have made it highly sought after throughout the history of our society, dating back to the origins of our race. The Emerald Tablets of Thoth, an alchemical book said to hold some of Earth's oldest secrets for knowledge and power, is believed to have been carved out of Emerald. Even King Solomon, bestowed with four rings of power by God, possessed a green Emerald among them.  Emerald, beyond its historical significance, is a stone that symbolizes the unrestricted flow of energy and directly empowers our heart center.
