EMERALDSTONE
What exactly are Emeralds? The word Emerald is derived from the Greek word "Smaragdos" which means "green stone" reflecting the color of the emerald. It was believed that there was nothing in nature to equal its color and brilliancy and it was an old Hebrew belief that if a serpent fixed its eye upon the lustre of this stone it would become blind. By weight the emerald is the most valuable gemstone in the world.
Who first beholds the light of day
In spring's sweet, flower month of May
And wears an Emerald all her life
Shall be a loved and a loving wife.
