Emerald is the traditional birthstone for May. This gem is suggested as the anniversary gift for the 20th or 35th anniversaries and as an alternate stone for the 55th wedding anniversary.

Emerald is the name given to the green variety of beryl. The name Emerald is derived from the French "esmeraude" and the Greek root "smaragdos" which means "green gemstone". Top quality emeralds are a deep grass green with a slightly bluish cast.

Emeralds are found in many countries, but Columbia is recognized as the source for the finest stones. Stones of fine color are among the most highly valued gemstones and their price may equal or exceed that of diamonds.

Emeralds are brittle stones and care should be taken when wearing and cleaning them. They should never be immersed in an ultrasonic or subjected to steam cleaning.

Emerald were used as amulets to ward off epilepsy in children and thought to cure diseases of the eye. Folklore suggests that these stones will improve memory, intelligence and enhance clairvoyance thus helping to predict future events. They are also worn to enhance love and contentment. Cleopatra prized emerald above all other gems.
