Emerald

Emerald, classified as a precious stone, has a deep and vivid colour of green. Emerald gets its name from the French word "Esmeraude" and the Middle English word 'Emeraude' which means "green gem". As a member of the beryl family, Emerald takes its colour from the traces of chromium and vanadium amounts occurring during the formation of the stone. Moreover, it has birthmarks which mean inclusions and surface-reaching fractures. These inclusions and its intense green colour make it unique and special. Due to its chemical structure, Emerald is a little fragile and chips easily when it is faceted. However, a special 'Emerald Cut' was developed to maintain the integrity of the Emerald crystal and has become popular over the years. The stone is mined mostly in Columbia and Ural mountains of Russia, Zambia, India, Madagascar, Norway, Brazil, Pakistan, Australia and the United States Of America.

With its beauty and its deep green hue, Emerald is one of the most special gemstones in the world and has been a coveted jewel for ages. Its beauty was celebrated in so many stories, myths and legends. Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt, is known for her deep and addictive admiration for the Emerald. It is also associated with Venus, the Roman goddess of love since ancient Romans believed that the Emerald embodied all her qualities; beauty, fertility and goodness. This May birthstone also symbolises the renewal of life and eternal spring.
