May's Birthstone Cleopatra's Favorite The beautiful deep blue green emerald is the birth stone chosen by the Amer ican Gem Society for those born in May, says Walter Silken of Grove's jewelers here in Plattsmouth. He told us that it's the gem that traditionally symbol izes faith, kindness, and goodness. According to Mr. Silken, the emerald was long ago dedicated to the goddess Venus, and lovers believed that it was en dowed with the power of revealing the faithfulness of the beloved. In discussing the source of emeralds, which belong to the Beryl family of gem substances, Mr. Silken said that this is one of the few precious gems whose main source of supply is found in the Western hemi sphere. While at one time, Cleopatra's personal emer ald mines in Egypt fur nished the first emeralds to the world, today, the best gems are found in Colombia, South America. The history of both the "Cleopatra Mines" in up per Egypt, and the mines in South America have similar characteristics. Conquerors from other lands over-ran Cleopatra's prize possession on several occasions so their exact location was lost and not rediscovered until 1313 when the Viceroy of Egypt sent a French scientist in search of them, Mr. Silken revealed. In Colombia, the Span ish conquered and tortur ed the Inca Indians who Grove Jevelry Plattsmouth 505 Main Pho,e 2400 Former Resident Receives Award Mrs. Maxine Edwards Lushin sky, 894 S.

In spite of cruel treatment, the Incas refused to reveal their source and the jungle growth soon overgrew the paths to the mine. It was not until 1555 that one of the mines the Muzo was discovered quite by accident. Fine quality emerald is still being min ed there, and today it is considered our principal source. Mr. Silken, who holds the title of Registered Jeweler in the American Gem Society cautioned prospective birthstone purchasers about the emerald. Since the supply is limited, fine quality emerald of good color, and with relatively few flaws, is the most valuable gem on the world market. It is also one that is easily imitated and sometimes unknowingly sold as gen uine by jewelers who lack both the instruments and the gcmological training to properly identify the var ious mineral substances. For example, Mr. Silken said, the green, clear De mantoid Garnet resembles emerald, and there are some shades of green beryl that are often called emer ald, although the stones lack the necessary color ing. Green tourmaline, peridot and green zircon are other gemstones some times confused with the precious emerald, but their value is considerably less, Mr. Silken said. she always needs that little something Ft?
