In Persia, he was called "zummurundi," and the word ismeans its saturated color - green. It was from the Persian name that the Arabian "semmerud", the Greek "smaragdos" and the Spanish "esmerald" were born. Own, English "emerald" and Russian "emerald" came from the same source.
Emerald in love

Even if the pair did not manage to get married, rings with emeralds will help to strengthen their love and bring to a happy marriage. And a considerable role is played by the frame for the stone. The golden frame, as it is believed today, protects against the betrayal of one of the spouses, and also gives out those who violated the sacred vow of love and loyalty. There is even an old legend telling how the emerald was split in the ring of the Hungarian king Bela, when the husband embraced his wife-traitor.

Malachite
Another no less famous green stone is themalachite. This semiprecious stone, famous in Bazhov's fairy tales, is still actively produced in the Urals and goes for the manufacture of various household items, interiors and ornaments. Malachite is found in different tones of green, from bright and saturated to very dark, veined with veins of other tones, and on the slices the stone can be either shiny or opaque. I must say that crafts and other products from malachite are very expensive. The very name of the stone came from the Greek words "mallow" and "soft". Unlike precious stones, for example, the same emerald, malachite - the stone is not very strong and solid, so it requires special care and caution in handling and handling.
