Emerald
Emerald pulses with life and vitality; in its depths beats the heart of the rainforest. Their incomparable dark green is produced only under extremely rare conditions, because these conditions result in tiny cracks and cavities in the stone, inclusions are acceptable in top-quality Emeralds.
Ancient history records Emerald mines near the Red Sea called Cleopatra’s Mines; this was where the Pharaohs gathered gems between 3000 and 1500 B.C. The Incas and Aztecs of South America worshipped Emerald as a holy stone. History also speaks of the Maharajas of India, whose treasure vaults were filled with Emeralds, the gem they believed to bring luck and health.
The green of Emerald is representative of life and springtime. In ancient Rome, it symbolized the beauty and love of the goddess Venus. Perhaps this is why Emerald is the gem chosen by love birds to celebrate their 20th, 35th or 55th wedding anniversary. Emerald is the birthstone for those born in May and under the sign of Virgo. Due to the natural state of the stones, each may differ slightly in color, size and inclusions.
