Emerald History and Folklore
Emeralds are traditionally thought to enhance the clairvoyance of their wearers.
Egyptian emeralds were introduced to the world about 4,000 years ago, but the stones from those mines are a duller green and are not considered high quality by today’s standards.
Mummies were often buried with emeralds and the gems were popular in ancient Rome, but some think that many of the stones called emeralds in ancient times were actually peridot.
Traditionally, emeralds are worn to promote healing and enhance love and contentment.
