Green Gemstone Meaning and Healing Powers

How does seeing the color green make you feel?

Perhaps that is why emerald, tsavorite and peridot gemstones are among the best selling gemstones in the world today along with many other green crystals.

By aligning with the natural world’s healing energies, green healing stones support physical health, encourage personal growth, and deepen one's connection to the universe.
