The emerald is May’s vibrant birthstone that resonates deeply with one’s heart chakra, and is the stone you should wear if you are seeking patience, inspiration, successful love, domestic bliss, and strong partnerships. Its brilliant colour inspires positive action and can be very helpful for those who feel lethargic, apathetic, or lacking in motivation.

Although emeralds can be mined all over the world, the main sources for this royal gem are Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia. Composed of the mineral beryl and coloured green by trace amounts of chromium or sometimes vanadium, emerald has fascinated gemstone collectors and jewellery fanciers for centuries.
