The Empress’ gemstones: emerald, rose quartz, coral, turquoise
Emeralds help us to see our spiritual sides more clearly. They promote healing mental and emotional wounds, strengthen the mind and memory, ward off nightmares and insomnia, and give positive energy. Like many green stones, they attract prosperity, abundance, business success and wealth. Additionally, emeralds help boost the immune system, clarify psychic energies and impressions and bring us equilibrium and peace of mind. They’re also said to attract faeries and elves and to aid divination and meditation.
Rose Quartz – Stimulating the good in humanity, it promotes art, culture, and relationships. It helps us keep our emotions soft and under control. It’s also the “stone of gentle love”; it helps us when we wish to reconcile with someone or when dealing with our children. It helps ease pain, especially emotional pain, and teaches us to forgive. It emits a cooling energy to help soothe away negativity and harmful emotions. Rose Quartz also helps us recover our sense of self-worth and helps us deal with stress.
Coral - A good stone to help ward off depression. Coral is also protective; it can be used to ward off the Evil Eye, possession, and other psychic/magickal attacks. It can also help protect us from theft, accidents, acts of violence, sterility, and poison. Additionally, Coral is good for helping our gardens grow and produce foodstuffs. It can be considered a manifestation of Spirit or the “fifth element” and can be used to symbolize the Divine. It’s frequently placed on graves for protection.
Turquoise - A stone of protection, turquoise helps protect the wearer and is particularly good when traveling. It can help draw wealth. In relationships, it can strengthen faithfulness. It’s also use to dispel negative energy and promotes meditation. It can help counter insomnia and bring us rest. Turquoise helps bring us love, luck, courage, beauty, healing, and friendship. It helps us connect with our spirit-nature (or Higher Self) and promotes integration of all of our selves. It’s a very good “all-purpose” stone.
