The word "emerald" is derived esmeraude (old French) and emeraude (ME) from Vulgar Latin: esmaralda/esmaraldus, a variant of Latin smaragdus, which originated in Ancient Greek: σμάραγδος(smaragdos; "green gem")

Green is the colour of nature,  calming colour in the wheel. It represents fertility, peace and balance.

It's not a stone for passionate love,  but it's a symbol of hope.

The emerald is the sacred stone of the goddess Venus. 

It was thought to preserve love

Emerald opens and nurtures the heart and the Heart Chakra

It was found on the breastplates of the Kings & Queens in the ancient times. 

“The masculine principle of movement and creative activity; the power to make things happen; taking action.”

 “Yang represents the power of action, the energies that propel the world forward, and manifesting thought and desire into concrete form. Now is the perfect time to act, for you can easily build momentum and make headway. What you want will come to fruition if you proceed confidently. This card signifies new life and is a sure sign that obstacles have been overcome. There is no reason to hesitate. You are the shaper of your destiny now.”

I am obsessed with Mandalas, I even purchased a couple of Spirograph set over Amazon.

Self Focus Mandala is about self love, and self nourishment.

It tells you that you need to focus on yourself rather than focusing on others.

In psychology self focus is related with social anxiety, it increases access to negative thoughts and feelings, can interfere with performance, and prevents the individual from observing external information that might disconfirm his or her fears
