If you would like to bring love into your life, purchase an emerald, charge it with your magical need through visualization, perhaps by using a green candle as well. After the ritual wear or carry the stone somewhere near your heart, but do it in such a way that it can not be seen by others.
Emeralds have been used in spells and rituals for business to promote sales and increase public awareness of the firm.
