Emerald is the stone of true love, inspiration and positive actions. It reminds us that we have the ability and duty to open up our psychic and clairvoyant gifts in order to help ourselves, and all beings. Emerald calls on the knowledge of our ancestors and past lives to open up our hearts so that great things may come to us. It has been used as a powerful protection stone, keeping our hearts and bodies safe. It is a wise and dignified stone, connected with our noble birthright as joyful beings of light. Emerald says, "I am here to show you unconditional love! Carry me with you so that I may whisper universal truths to your soul so you remember who you really are." :)
