Hello,

I agree natural emerald for your purpose would be better.  There are stones out there if you shop around until you find the one that speaks to you.  As far as lab created they are the same chemically. They are very beautiful because the the rich color and the cleaner crystals.  My advise would be to buy a crystal.  If you wanted someone like me could cut it for you or you could leave it as a crystal.
