Interesting Facts About Emeralds......
Emeralds are the modern and traditional birthstone for the month of May, zodiac stone for Taurus and the talisman stone for Gemini. They can also be given as a gift for the 20th and 35th anniversaries and as an alternate stone for the 55th wedding anniversary.
The name emerald comes from the French 'esmeraude', which in turn comes from the Greek 'smargados', meaning rather predictably 'green gemstone'. However there is nothing predictable about the emerald itself which is believed to bring good luck and give the wearer prophetic gifts. Emeralds symbolise fidelity, goodness and love.
Queen Cleopatra famously loved emeralds above all other gemstones. In fact the oldest known discoveries were found near the Red Sea in Egypt and later referred to as 'Cleopatras Mines'.
Emeralds are mainly found in Colombia (which is where the finest stones come from and where the Incas and Aztecs regarded them as holy), Brazil, Africa, India, Pakistan, Russia and Egypt. They are also mined in Australia, Norway, and the United States.
