"The infamous Emerald of Killarney; feared throughout the world. That stone carries an Irish curse bringing endless bad luck to whomever possesses it."
Uncle

The Emerald of Killarney is a magical object that inflicts its owner with a curse of bad luck, although the curse can only be passed onto someone if the emerald exchanges hands willingly.

History[]

According to legend, the curse first arose when the emerald was stolen from its tomb in Ireland. Eventually, the emerald ended up in the hands of an unlucky Irishman, who came to Uncle's Rare Finds, desperately trying to give the curse to someone else before selling the emerald to Jade.

Upon being informed of the seemingly successful transaction, Uncle immediately recognized the emerald to his horror, identifying it as the Emerald of Killarney, a legendary emerald that curses its owner with bad luck. Uncle proceeded to explain the nature behind the curse: if the emerald is passed onto someone who willingly accepts it, that person becomes cursed with bad luck while the previous recipient is freed from the curse, unless the current bearer of the curse manages to pass the Emerald onto someone else by repeating the process. Afterwards, Jade had a string of bad luck until Jackie willingly took it from her possession, unintentionally passing the curse onto him.

Jackie, meanwhile, had been locked in a closet by Uncle to prevent him from spreading the curse until he could find a way to break it. Jade and Tohru returning from the library, showing up with twenty-three books on Irish legends. Upon reading from one of the books, Uncle revealed that the curse can only be broken by returning the Emerald to the tomb in Ireland from which it was originally stolen.

Setting out to break the curse for good, Jackie endured a string of bad luck on his way to the airport. Upon touching down in Ireland, Jackie lost the Emerald to the Enforcers led by Finn, seemingly losing the curse along with it, although Uncle later informed Jackie that if the Emerald is stolen, the curse will remain on him forever.

Emerald of Killarney Returned

Jackie and Jade return the Emerald to its tomb, effectively breaking the curse

Jackie and Jade both tracked Finn and the others down to an old potato factory, where they attempted to negotiate the sale of the Emerald over the phone. Upon reclaiming the Emerald, Jackie is discovered and is forced to surrender it to Finn; he does so willingly, effectively passing on the curse and causing Finn to have a string of bad luck. Realizing that the curse was real all along, Finn attempted to return the Emerald to Jackie, who would only willingly accept it on the condition that the three leave him and his niece alone.

Eventually, Jackie and Jade managed to return the Emerald of Killarney to the tomb from which it was originally stolen, breaking the curse for good.
