CLASSIFICATION: Faceted“Antique Cut” Emerald. ORIGIN: The Ural Mountains(Siberia) Russia. 19th Century. SIZE: Length: 5mm. Width: 4mm. Depth: 3mm. All measurements approximate WEIGHT: 0.51 carats. NOTES: Upon request we can set your gemstones as a ring. Pendant, or as earrings(click for more information) DETAIL: During the Middle Ages an emerald amulet was believed to keep a woman chaste. Medieval shamans and magicians believed that emeralds enabled them to foretell future events if put on the tongue or worn on the left side of the body. Emeralds were also believed to reveal what was true or false. And to give eloquence in speech and make people more intelligent and honest. Worn as a talisman, emerald was regarded as a sure antidote for enchantments and spells, was believed to repel evil spirits, and it was believed that a high quality emerald would change hues to alert the wearer to impending danger. In many medieval legends of King Arthur, the Holy Grail(the cup used to catch Christ’s blood at the crucifixion) is described as being fashioned from a large emerald. In the Renaissance medical practitioners ground up emerald with laudanum, an opium derivative, as a medicine for certain fevers and ailments. Here's a very nice. Near eye clean, beautifully colored natural emerald precious gemstone from the Southern Urals of(Siberia) Russia. The gemstone was hand crafted and faceted by a 19th century Russian artisan, part of an heritage renown for the production of the elaborate gemstones and jewelry of the Czars of Medieval, Renaissance, and Victorian Russia. Emeralds are nearly 100 times rarer than diamonds, and there are few opportunities to acquire good quality natural emeralds at reasonable prices. The best specimens can bring over $40,000 a carat.

Ancient Christians regarded the blood-red garnet to be symbolic of Christ’s blood sacrifice. According to ancient Hebrew mythology. A giant garnet provided interior lighting for Noah's Ark. It is also believed that garnet, described as“nopek” was one of the twelve gemstones described in the Bible in Exodus 28:17-20 as adorning Aaron’s breastplate, representing the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. The Koran holds that the garnet illuminates the Fourth Heaven of the Moslems. The ancient Persians regarded garnet as a royal stone, and only royalty was allowed to possess the gemstone. To the Anglo-Saxons, garnet was a cherished treasure. Ancient cultures including the Celts, Greeks, Hebrews, Persians and Romans all highly valued garnet. Here is a gorgeously colored richly hued. Sparkling blood red garnet. This particular species of garnet is known as"Spessartite" and is so named after its original source of Spessart, Bavaria.
