The word 'quadrilateral' is derived from the Latin words 'quadri,' which means four, and 'latus', which means side. Nature's quadrilaterals have long been believed, by many cultures, to offer grounding, stability, and safety.

In Hinduism, squares and rectangles represent order and balance. In Native American religions, the four-side shapes represent permanence and safety. 

Emerald is the birthstone for the month of May and is known as the stone of “love and success“. The stone is said to bring in abundance, growth, peace, harmony, patience, love, fidelity and honesty. It’s also said to sensitize the wearer to intuitive ideas and creativity, particularity within the arts.

An emerald’s crystal structure forms in systems of hexagons. Hexagons are known to be one of the most stable shapes in nature.

As documented in ancient writings, when an emerald is heated it will sweat or expel water. This has led past civilization to infer that Emeralds are sensitive to a wearer’s emotions and energy, expelling negativity and acting a guide.
