Emerald is a form of the mineral beryl. A green beryl is called an emerald; a blue or greenish-blue beryl is called an aquamarine. A red or pink beryl is called morganite. Emeralds are one of the worlds most sought after gems. The ancient Egyptians mined emeralds over 4000 years ago.
Emerald is believed by some to promote clear thinking. Some believe it may help one to sort out difficult problems, and allow one to see things clearly. Emerald is also the birthstone for May.
