| More About Emerald |
|
Emerald is the traditional birthstone for May. The name emerald comes from the Greek 'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde', which means 'green gemstone'. The magnificent green of the emerald is a color which conveys harmony and a love of Nature, and is regarded the color of life and of springtime.
The Incas and Aztecs of South America, where the best emeralds are still found today, regarded the emerald as a holy gemstone. The oldest known finds were once made near the Red Sea in Egypt. However these gemstone mines, already exploited by Egyptian pharaohs between 3000 and 1500 B.C. and later referred to as 'Cleopatra's Mines', had already been exhausted by the time they were rediscovered in the early 19th century. Today most of the world's emeralds are mined in Columbia, Brazil and Zambia.
Emeralds are classified with a hardness of 9 on moh's scale. They are not as hard as diamonds, but do last a long time. They scratch easily but the scratches can be wiped off. It is recommended that you do not leave your emerald ring on while washing dishes or using soap because after a while, these substances will accumulate on the bottom of the gemstone, causing it to lose its brilliance. To clean an emerald, use room temperature running water and a soft toothbrush with mild soap. |
