Talisman of the Goddess Venus-EMERALDS

And May's Birthstone.

It is somewhat appropriate that this brilliant green stone would be the associated with the month of May, and it's Season of rebirth.  As a matter of fact Ancient Egyptians would carve scenes of gardens onto larger Emeralds as symbols of Fertility and Rebirth. Ancient Romans thought that lighter colored Emeralds were "unripe" so they valued the darker, richer tones as more mature and ready for use.

"Mature Emerald"

Cultures have Prized Emeralds for millenium,  including Gods and Goddesses.

Emeralds are the Talisman of Venus, Goddess of Love and Fertility. This stone is said to Enhance Unconditional Love and Protect against unfaithfulness-it actually rumored to lose it's inner glow when the wearer is untrue.

Also associated with Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods;  therefore, it is the Stone to give to Travelers.

One more reference, this time in regards to Feng Shui-the ancient Chinese Art of attracting positive energies to your home.
Place your Emeralds in the SE corner of your room if you are interested in Wealth Energies.
                                           SW corner of your room if you are interested in Relationship Energies
                                           N  corner of your room for Personal Growth and Journeys

I guess we know where Mercury and Venus put their Emeralds.
Where are yours?
