A flawless, clear emerald is rare.
Most emeralds when held to the light...
show beautiful patterns that resemble foliage.
The bright green is the best known of emeralds,
but many are pale greens of all shades.
The synthetic emeralds are very hard,and
natural emeralds are harder than most gemstones.

Emeralds may be cut in many cuts.
They are magnificent in cabochons and domes...
some are engraved or carved.

Special Powers:
According to legend and myth, emeralds cure infertility.
They may enable the wearer to predict the future...
raise the I.Q. (Wow!!!!)...and cure poor eyesight.

Emeralds are found in
Colombia, Brazil, Zambia, Zimbabwe

"A woman without a ring is like
perfume without a scent"
maggieblue says that

~also~
"A ring without a stone has to be
heavy silver or gold, preferably gold..."
maggieblue says that too

~also~

Rings on the fingers,
rings on the toes...
but do not think
a ring in the nose.

A jewel in the nose might be nice
a diamond, sapphire, citrine
would suffice.

But pearls in the nose,
that's really a 'Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkk...'
Who has sniffed up a pearl
knows this is a risk!
maggieblue says that too

Au Revoir, Beloved.
