27 whore Emerald
The biggest emerald has something incredibly mysterious. This is at least a good quality stone, one of the rarest of jewels that can not be achieved for most of us. This magnificent 75.57-carat emerald was probably possessed by the Ottoman Empire until 1900. Legend has it it was used for Sultan's belt buckle!
Stone Latifah Needs is a Christmas catalog in 1950. Mrs Janet Annenberg Hooker bought a stone in 1955 from Tiffany's and donated it to the museum in 1977.
Emeralds are part of the Beryl family of jewels. Green Beryl is called Emerald, Blue Green Beryl is called Aquamarine. The pink tint of green berylstone is called Morganite. There are even red ruffles rarer than emeralds.
The name Emerald comes from the Greek smaragdos by the old French esmeralde, and in fact just means 'green gemstone'. Countless fantasy stories have grown around this magnificent gem. The South America Inca and Azteca where the best emeralds are still found today considers the emerald as a sacred jewel. But perhaps the oldest known discovery took place near the Red Sea in Egypt. That said, these gemstone mines, already exploited by Egyptian pharaohs 3000 and 1500 BC, and later called "mine of Cleopatra", was already tired when rediscovered in the early 19th century .
But it has also been a color of beauty and constant love for centuries. In ancient Rome, green was the color of Venus, the goddess of beauty and love. And today this color still occupies a special position in many cultures and religions. For example, green is the sacred color of Islam. Many states of the Arab League are greening the flag as a symbol of their unity of faith. However, this color also occupies a high position in the Catholic Church, and green is regarded as the most basic of the most natural and liturgical colors.
