These are AA-grade Emerald tumbled stones from Bahia, Brazil, sold by the piece or by the pound. Emerald is chromium-and-vanadium-colored beryl; tumbled material shows natural green with the included character typical of the stone. Each piece runs 1-1.50 inches at Mohs 7.5, sourced through a community partnership. A favorite love stone for pockets.
Emerald is green beryl, and rough emerald doesn't always look like the jewelry store version. Our pieces are natural, unpolished or lightly shaped, showing the crystal form and the internal inclusions that come with the stone.
These tumbled stones come from Bahia, Brazil. Worth knowing: a lot of the emerald on the market is stabilized. What we carry is natural and untreated.
Emerald has long been used in practices around opening to connection, with yourself and others, openness to what comes your way, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, keep it nearby during quiet moments or by the bed for rest. There's no single right way to carry it.
These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
A starting place for your own quiet practice.
