Emerald is recommended for strengthening the planet Mercury. It greatly increases the powers of intellectual focus and communication. This can be an important and necessary benefit for writers, speakers, entertainers, business people and those in the various fields of communication. Most people find that emeralds give a magical quality to their ability to intellectually be present and connect more fully with what their eyes visually take in.
Emeralds also strengthen the nervous system ,and on the physical side, purify the blood and skin. They are often used by healers to increase positive life-energy flow because of emeralds' magical abilities to heal the Auric field of the body and mind. Emeralds often have many imperfections and are expensive to obtain in less flawed. Emeralds should be fairly "clear" to the eye for healing purposes. However, some imperfections are not harmful and do not impede the stone's natural vibrations. Color and clarity do reflect the energy of the emerald quite accurately and a reasonably, clean emerald is preferable and very noticeable.
Sources of emeralds are Colombia and Brazil, India, Africa (Zambian and Tanzanian are often the best), Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Egypt and Russia.
