In the ancient world the Emerald was thought to impart great power, the Greeks for example believed that the wearer would be granted victory when on trial and that it helps with bad eyesight. Emerald was known to be the choice of Cleopatra, and her Emerald mine in Upper Egypt, is the earliest known source of this rare and beautiful gemstone.
