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.
