SMERALDO (Emerald) 2462 PLAN "The
Gem of Eternal Spring"
Treasured for 6,000 years, emeralds were already much sought-after items
in the gem markets of Babylon. The ancient Egyptians were mining
emeralds long before other gems as far back as 2000 BC in the desert of
Upper Egypt near the Red Sea. They buried the mummies of their notables
with an emerald attached around the necks. It was carved with the
hieroglyphic symbol for verdant foliage as the gem symbolized eternal
youth and rebirth by virtue of its luxuriant spring-like greens.
Cleopatra valued her lustrous emeralds so greatly that the ancient mines
in Egypt are now called Cleopatra's Mines. In India, moguls inscribed
sacred texts on emeralds and wore them as talismans. The ancient Romans
dedicated the emerald to Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, and
Emperor Nero reportedly wore emerald sunglasses to watch the gladiators
fight in the Coliseum. Symbolically, it's the gem of eternal spring.
