The virtues and properties of Emerald in lithotherapy

Courage and harmony - Universal love - Intuition and wisdom - Openness, acceptance and learning

Spiritual meaning of symbols

Green Beryls are linked to the love that makes all rebirths of the spirit possible. Its connection to the heart chakra signifies all the potential for spiritual enrichment through the quest for the virtues of harmony.

This openness to intuition and wisdom can manifest itself in meditation, in reflection on the subjectivity of truth, or in affinity with the justice needed to fulfill the relationships that give meaning to the paths we take.

A relationship with an invisible world, made up of celestial guides - symbols of our aspirations - imprints the seal of clairvoyance on our aspirations. Doubts and destructive blockages, the dark legacy of trauma, are then banished to make way for self-confidence, which accepts doubt and our limits as the inherent territory of learning and creativity. For if courage knows fear, it opposes it with motivation. The spirit open to universal love seeks listening as much as expression. It knows instinctively that balance is made of prudence and compassion.

With its feminine energy, Emerald helps men dare to explore and recognize the potential of their feminine side.
