May’s Birthstone is Emerald

admin — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 22:59:48 +0000

Prized since ancient times, a fine emerald can be more expensive than a high quality diamond of the same carat weight. Emerald is a form of Beryl, which occurs in many other colors depending on the impurities that Mother Nature has mixed into its otherwise clear formula. Blue beryl is known as aquamarine.
