Emerald is the gem of the month of May, associated with calm, serene and reflective people.
Emerald is a variety of beryl that is characterized by its intense green color, which evokes the image of a dense forest cradled by the wind. The color green is said to help alleviate visual pains, without a doubt emerald relaxes and fascinates at the same time.
Its name comes from the Greek " Smaragdos ", which means "Green gem", and it is associated with calm and reflective people .
Do you think Emerald can be your gemstone?
"The Emeralds are the queens of the color green. I really value going inside to see the small inclusions they have inside, they form gardens of great beauty... they make it unique and exclusive."
The admiration that was felt for the emerald is already known in Ancient Egypt, we have an example of it in Cleopatra and her court, where not only was its beauty emphasized but also a symbolic power was assumed.
But the powerful green color, as well as its brilliance - a product of the usual internal inclusions and its crystallization - remain its main characteristics. It evokes nature better than any other gemstone.
It is the stone of the month of May , the month of spring rebirth, and it is believed that it helps to see the truth , it makes the wearer smarter to make better decisions . Could it be your special gem?
Jewelry care
It is a gemstone that is considered to be of suitable hardness for everyday use (7.5/8 on the Moh's scale), although care must be taken to avoid high temperatures, harsh chemicals or sudden changes of pressure (as you fly in an airplane). From Roosik & Co we recommend the use of warm water, soap and a soft brush for cleaning.
