Birthstone of the month

Emerald is the perfect emblem of an everlasting love.

The name "Emerald" comes indirectly from the Greek smaragdos, a name that seems to have been given to a number of stones, having little in common except a green colour. Emeralds occur in a variety of green colours. The magnificent green colour that gives extraordinary value to this gem is due to small amounts of chromium and vanadium. Some emeralds have yellowish to bluish overtones.

The ancients appear to have obtained emeralds from Upper Egypt, as early as 2000 BC. during the life of Pharaoh Sesostris 111. Greek miners were working the mines in the time of Alexander the Great and later the mines yielded their gems to Cleopatra who was an avid emerald collecter. Though not meant to replace tradition medical treatment, emerald is extensively used for physical and emotional healing.

Emerald has a refreshing soft green colour, which has amazing healing powers for troubled eyes. It could also prevent convulsions in children and aids with ailments of the spine. Emeralds could help fighting all mental illnesses and neurological disorders. Today, Columbia leads the world in terms of the number and size of emerald deposits found. In addition, quality emeralds are found in Brazil, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar, Afghanistan, India and Russia.

For centuries, only those of great wealth could venture upon so priceless a gift, the symbol of faith, kindness and purity.
