An "expert" opinion on emerald

Recently, we found an antique book on gemstones written by what we consider to be an "expert". We would like to share some of his revealing insights with you. This week we share his knowledge on emeralds.

"Greener than green is the emerald!" Thus speaks the old magician in his book. "This stone suffers no unchastity! To such a degree that if one weakens a virgin, the stone shatters! Therefore, this precious stone can also be used as a drug to resist love potions of lewd women."

Terrible, those lewd women in the Middle Ages... a good thing that doctors had such strong remedies against them.

More revealing insights on other gemstones from our newfound "expert" will follow soon.
