This raw stone is the Earth’s unhewn heart of verdant light, a rugged fragment of eternal springtime! This yellow-green beryl mineral is cut, and polished to a beautiful precious gemstone. Due to it's good hardness, it can be used in jewelry. It is used in rings, pendants, necklaces and other customized pieces of art. Raw (uncut and unpolished) emeralds are believed to harness the pure, unadulterated energy of the earth, making them highly prized in crystal healing and astrology. They are primarily valued for promoting mental clarity, boosting emotional balance, attracting financial prosperity, and enhancing communication and creativity.
