Girlie Facts about Emeralds

As a girlie girl who likes gem stones and semi-precious stones simply because they are sparkly and pretty, I have found in the past that it's surprisingly difficult to find girlie girl level facts on a certain gem, all in the one place.

So, as no one else seems to have put birth stone, zodiac stone, anniversary stone, symbols and meanings, energies, planets, and other "proper" facts like where they come from, hardness, chemical make up and so on all in one place, I thought I would do it. I must stress that my Gem Info Pages are definitely not what you need if you are writing a thesis on a gem, or are some kind of gem type boffin. They contain the info that I always want when buying a gem as a gift. It is girlie info...with some science stuff thrown in at the end.
