Emerald Season, Plus a Lesson in Numismatics!
“Sometimes a single look into your emerald eyes is enough to shake my soul." —Unknown
May Birthstone Special
April Showers bring the lush green hues of blossoming flowers and new life in May.
Emerald is the birthstone for May. Like aquamarine, it’s a member of the Beryl family. Prized for their vibrant, deeply saturated green color, the first known emerald mines date back to 330 B.C in Egypt. It’s no wonder why Cleopatra was such an admirer. Emeralds are thought to bring balance, patience and compassion, and are also used to commemorate 35th and 55th wedding anniversaries!
