Emerald, the birthstone for May, is a precious gemstone that has been revered for centuries. Its name comes from the Greek word "smaragd," which means green. The ancient Egyptians believed that emeralds symbolised fertility and rebirth, and they were often buried with emeralds to ensure eternal youth. In ancient Rome, emeralds associated with Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Today, emeralds are still considered a symbol of love and loyalty, and are often given as gifts for anniversaries and other special occasions. They are also believed to have healing properties and are said to promote good health and well-being.
