my return place.
The fresh green that jumps into your eyes together with the sky you look up at
The color of recovery, circulation, compassion, and happiness.
The glorious emerald grains produced by the earth become a lovely little bouquet on your chest.
The delicate light and texture symbolize the delicate heart and kindness of women.
You can use it every day, in any scene,
A necklace of understated beauty.

Its Japanese names are suigyoku and ryokugyoku.
It has a long history and is counted as one of the four major Gemstone in the world. In Greek times, it appears in Theophrastus, a disciple of Aristotle, in his "On Stone". It is famous that Cleopatra used it habitually in Ptolemaic Egypt. It is also said to be a symbol of wealth and power. According to Pliny's "Natural History" of the Roman Empire, emeralds were the third most Gemstone after diamonds and pearls, and emperor Nero owned an emerald monocle. In fact, emerald products are often unearthed from Roman ruins such as Pompeii.
Elsewhere, emeralds were dedicated to Venus in Greece and Rome due to astrological influences. According to Jewish legend, King Solomon was given an emerald among the Gemstone given by God.
[Bonus column: Emerald mineralogy and history]
Due to the crystal structure of the mineral, emerald has a unique characteristic that rather than shining on the surface, it shines from the inside and looks wet. In the ancient civilizations of South America, emeralds were believed to be living Stone because of how they looked.
Cleopatra of ancient Egyptian civilization chose a drawing room with plenty of emeralds for her audience with nobles, and the main purpose of the Age of Discovery was gold and emeralds from South America. I've been in love, crazy, and searching. It is only in the last 100 years that diamonds have become the standard material for jewelry, unlike emeralds which have thousands of years of history. Emerald is a Gemstone that cannot be separated from world history.
Until companies strategically standardized and branded diamonds, high-pressure carbon crystals, which are actually abundant in production, emeralds were the crown Gemstone, and even today jewelers still have a specialized market for emeralds. To some extent.
Emerald is a Gemstone called a mineralogical miracle in its very existence.
In the first place, in order to generate emerald, it is necessary for vanadium, a mineral that is found only in a specific environment in the natural world (low abundance in the crust and low concentration rate), to interfere with beryllium, which is also a rare metal. , such an environment is a continental plate and an ancient submarine plate with a high concentration of rare metals. It is said that it may occur during mountain building activities in It is an event that occurs only in rare-scale mountain building activity in the billion-year history of Earth's plate tecnics, and is extremely valuable because the deposits that can be further mined by humans are limited. This is why emeralds are called mineralogical Romeo and Juliet.
