Beryl Gems 

by: padre art

The two common forms of Beryl gems are the grass-green Emerald and the icy-blue Aquamarine.  Both gems have been considered as precious ornaments for jewellery in all cultures familiar with them.

It occupies a place among all birthstones traditions, beyond the emerald’s placement, as well as figuring as an amulet or talisman gem.

Which variety of Beryl is meant, when the ancients write of the gem, cannot always be determined but it would appear that all types have great attributes.

It is written in the Book of Wings (c.1200 AD);

A frog engraved on a Beryl gives the wearer the power to reconcile enemies and produce accord where there has been disagreement.”

According to Arnoldus Saxo,
"the wearing of Beryl jewelry makes one both amiable and unconquerable at the same time, especially in litigation". 
One adorned with such jewelry benefits from a quickened wit while being cured of idleness.  

For married couples gifts of Beryl jewellery are a boon since it is generally accepted that it creates marital harmony and reawakens the love of a spouse. 
If the gem is engraved with a crow on top and a crab below, wearing Beryl jewellery will bring you joy, wealth and conjugal love.

October’s child is born for woe,
And life’s vicissitudes must know;
But lay a
Beryl on her breast,
And Hope will lull those woes to rest.
When fair
October to her brings the Beryl,
No longer need she fear misfortune’s peril.

This mineral, beryllium aluminum silicate with a Moh’s hardness of 8, has formed the center of precious jewelry gifts, all around the world, since before the written word.
