Pendant Silver heart with faceted Emerald

A kind of Beryl ‎
In ancient Egypt the Emerald symbolized fertility and ‎rebirth. In many cultures it was used to treat the eyes, to get ‎rid of poisons and prevent child epilepsy. It was believed ‎that keeping an Emerald under the tongue helped see visions ‎of the future. It was also believed that wearing an Emerald ‎strengthened memory, kept away evil powers and exposed ‎the truth behind the statements of lovers.‎
The most ancient known mines are in south Egypt. Working ‎in the mines was very dangerous and the quality of the ‎Crystals was lower than in other locations. ‎
The Emerald is a spiritual, physical and mental healer. ‎Recommended for pessimistic people. May help ease back ‎problems particularly if they result from emotional problems ‎caused by involvement in problems of other people. Eases ‎pressure. Good to keep while working with others. Increases ‎ability of self-expression‏.‏
