This beautiful, deep green stone dates back to the ancient Egyptians who used it for seals, rings and decorating vessels.  It was worn as an amulet and was believed to be the stone of prosperity.  It was considered a miraculous healing stone for tribal priests, and was given to warriors as a protective talisman.

Today, with its calming green hue, it is seen as a stone that provides inner stability and a keen sense of justice.  It is associated with compassion, generosity and good fortune.
