- Emeralds History & Lore
- Pizarro and Cortez subdued the Inca and Mayan civilizations and took over the existing emerald and gold mines and began shipping these captured fortunes of gold and gems back to Spain, who in turn shipped them to India and Philippine trading ports where they found their way to China, Mongolia, and Delhi. These early thefts allowed Spain to become one of the leading world powers at the time.

Native American Animal Symbol
Native American Animal Symbol....
Deer: May 21 - Jun 20This Native American animal symbol is the muse of the zodiac. The Deer is inspiring lively and quick-witted. With a tailor-made humor, the Deer has a tendency to get a laugh out of anyone. Excellent ability for vocalizing, the Deer is a consummate conversationalist. This combined with his/her natural intelligence make the Deer a must-have guest at dinner parties. Always aware of his/her surroundings, and even more aware of his/her appearance, the Deer can be a bit self-involved. However, the Deer's narcissism is overlooked because of his/her congeniality and affability. In a supportive environment the Deer's natural liveliness and sparkly personality radiate even more. He/she is an inspiring force in any nurturing relationship. Left to his/her own devices the Deer can be selfish, moody, impatient, lazy, and two-faced.

In Memory of Anna Michelle Collar
In
Memory of our daughter, sister, niece & grandaughter ~ Anna Michelle
Collar ~ We have a Leukemia Awareness line of Jewelry. Check out of the
beautiful pieces @ www.annaslegacy.com
BUTTERFLIES are the essence of rebirth. Anna and I, her mother, Cathy, often talked about what happens when we pass on. She and I agreed that it must be similar to the caterpillar and the butterfly. We thought that the butterfly also could symbolize rebirth on earth, such as surviving a possible fatal disease like Leukemia. Either way the Butterfly was a beautiful symbol of rebirth.

Stone Magic ~ The Spirit Within
Emerald History & Lore
It's said that Isis
wore a green emerald—all who looked upon it were guaranteed a safe trip through
the land of the dead. Emeralds in ancient Rome were highly prized and valued
for the calming and soothing effects. Nero watched the Roman games in the
coliseum through a set of highly prized emerald glasses. With the conquest of
South American by the Spaniards in the 16th century, emeralds became more
plentiful in Europe.

Stone Magic ~ The Spirit Within
Emerald History & Lore
In ancient Egypt, emeralds were mined close to the Red Sea.
This tranquil green gem was highly prized by the wealthy and
the priest craft. The high cost made it far beyond the average
Egyptian's pocketbook.
It's said that Isis wore a green emerald—
all who looked upon it were guaranteed a safe trip through
the land of the dead.
