Throughout the history of mankind, stones, both semi-precious and precious, have played an important role in the economy and culture of various nations. For example, what is the name of the green stone, known since antiquity?
Stone name
In Persia they called him “zummurundi”, and the word means its saturated color - green. It was from the Persian name that the Arabic was born - "semmeryud", Greek "smaragdos" and Spanish "Esmeralda". Own, English "emerald" and Russian "emerald" came from the same source.
Emerald in love
I must say that the emerald has become one of the favorite stones of mankind and successfully competes with the “girl’s best friends” - diamonds. Brightly and richly colored emeralds are much more expensive, and are much less common. Having found out what the green stone is called, you will find out that this stone is attributed to Venus by both ancient and modern mystics, and this is due to its color. It is still believed that this Roman goddess of love and beauty will patronize and always help those lucky ones who guessed to purchase and wear an ornament with a stone of her color. This green stone (as we call it - we have already figured out) is considered an ideal wedding present, and the groom should pour red wine over the present, and the bride with white wine next. Thus consecrated, the amulet will become a family talisman, which should be kept at the head of the bed of the spouses. He will keep their love, happiness and peace in the family.
Framing, Legends
What is the name of the green stone that strengthens the feelings of lovers? Of course, an emerald. Even if the couple did not have time to get married, rings with emeralds will help strengthen their love and bring them to a happy marriage. Moreover, the frame for the stone plays a significant role. The golden frame, as it is considered to this day, protects from the betrayal of one of the spouses, and also extends those who violated the sacred vow of love and fidelity. There is even an old legend telling about how an emerald split in the ring of the Hungarian king Bela, when the husband hugged the traitor's wife. What is the name of the green stone that helps women in labor? Also an emerald. Even in ancient times, people were sure that this jewel provides a safer, faster and painless birth. She was also a talisman for merchants and sea travelers. Allegedly, an emerald protects people from death on the water. He helps people in public, speakers, creative and determined to win, purposeful and knowing what they want. You just need to tune in, imagine the desire in all the details and carry the stone with you. Then everything will surely come true.
Emerald for health and zodiac signs
It is considered an emerald and a healing stone, it should be worn in a pendant, hung on the chest. It strengthens the heart, helps prevent heart attacks, relieves fatigue from the eyes, drives away bad dreams and nightmares. At the same time, it is better to frame it in silver. The green stone set in gold (precious, as they call it - is already known to the public) rescues from bites of poisonous snakes, insects, and infectious ailments. The emerald fits all the signs of the zodiac without exception, but it is best to wear it Taurus, Libra, Cancer, and, of course, Pisces.
Malachite
Another equally well-known green stone is malachite. This semiprecious stone, glorified in the tales of Bazhov, is still actively mined in the Urals and goes to the manufacture of various household items, interiors and decorations. Various tones of green are found in malachite, from bright and saturated to very dark, streaked with veins of other tones, and on cuts the stone can be either shiny or dull. I must say that crafts and other products from malachite are very expensive. The very name of the stone comes from the Greek words "mallow" and "soft." Unlike gemstones, for example, the same emerald, malachite is a stone that is not very strong and hard, therefore it requires special care and caution in processing and handling. He does not like blows, sudden changes in temperature. Astrologers believe that this stone brings good luck to all people, but is most suitable for Capricorns and Lions.
