Emeralds to protect you.
My birthstone is an amethyst. Amethysts are pale and pretty,
but I’ve always preferred more vibrant colors. Sapphires, rubies, and emeralds.
Especially emeralds. There’s no prize for guessing my favorite color is green.
A little while ago I wrote a series of three books, the
Gemstone Romances. Each romance story featured a different gemstone which was
pivotal to the romance. In the first book, “Courage and Comfort” the two heroes
had to find an aquamarine to bring courage and comfort to Edmund’s tragically
widowed sister, Mavis.
But in “Protecting You” the heroine, AJ, finds three stones
right near the start of the book. The problem is, she’s hopelessly in love with
a man already in a relationship with someone else, and she would never break up
a relationship. AJ has the three stones she’s found, but can’t figure out the
meaning of them.
One of the stones is an emerald. For hundreds of years
emeralds have been considered to bring health and protection to those who have
them. Because of their innate healing abilities, emeralds can protect the
wearer from poisons, physical danger, and mental distress. By increasing a
person’s innate psychic abilities, the emerald enhances their decision making
powers and increases their energy. AJ is psychic. She’s the one who knew
finding the aquamarine in the first book would help Mavis. But she doesn’t
understand the meaning of the emerald, the onyx, and the piece of amber which
she has found herself.
The emerald AJ has found is at the heart of what her future
will be. Only a stone as powerful as an emerald could be tough enough to deal
with a strong woman like AJ.
“Protecting You” by Berengaria Brown:
AJ
has psychic abilities and knows Drew is her soul mate. But bisexual Drew flits
from partner to partner. At the moment he’s with Kristien, and Kristien is very
much in love with Drew. AJ can’t bear the thought that the only way for her to
achieve happiness is to break Kristien’s heart.
She
invites them both to join her and her friends at the beach for a few days,
hoping to get closer to Drew. A rocky wall calls to her, and when she climbs
up, she explores a cave and is led to three stones—an onyx, an emerald, and
amber.
What
do they mean?

Loved your blog, but gotta disagree about the amethyst. They can be a very deep purple and beautiful stone. Reconsider, please....
ReplyDeleteHi, Jean. I'll look for some dark purple ones before my next birthday!

What a great post! The Emerald is my daughter's birthstone and my son is the Ruby. Both are strong children who need strong protections!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's awesome, Melissa.
