1. EMERALD is a precious gemstone ands a variation of the mineral Beryl. Trace amounts of the minerals Chromium and Vanadium are responsible for its green color. Emeralds have been mined in Egypt since 1500 BCE. Today, the world's largest deposits of emerald are mined in Columbia and Zambia. Emerald is the birthstone for May and the traditional gemstone for the astrological sign, Cancer. One of the most famous collections of gemstones in history is Cleopatra’s emeralds. The Egyptian queen was said to be obsessed with the green gem and famously split a large emerald she found in two, giving half to her lover, Marc Antony, when he went off to battle, and later died at the hands of the Romans. The other half of the stone was found in her tomb. Egyptians would often bury their dead with emeralds because they believed it had powers of eternal youth and rebirth. Emerald is also thought to be a stone of unconditional love, loyalty, and faithfulness.

2. LAPIS LAZULI is a royal blue metamorphic rock which has been prized since ancient times for its rich blue color. Lapis Lazuli was found and used in the Middle East as early as 6000 BC. It was used in the creation of the golden burial masks found in the ancient Egyptian tombs, which were buried with the mummified Pharaohs. It is inlaid in the famous "Mask of Tutankhamun" (King Tut), the most recognizable and well known artifact of ancient Egypt. In the Middle Ages, Lapis Lazuli was ground into a powder and used as the finest and most expensive of all blue pigments, and was used in renaissance paintings. Lapis was also used in the famous Faberge eggs gifted to the Royal Russian family (the Romanovs) in the 1800s. Often nicknamed, the "Stone of Truth", Lapis Lazuli was believed to promote honesty, truth-telling, and the desire for knowledge, as well as enhancing one's memory.

3. BLUE LACE AGATE Blue Lace Agate is a form of banded Chalcedony, a mineral in the Quartz family. Historically, agate has been discovered within the artifacts of Neolithic people, and was used in healing amulets dating back to Babylon. It was also used as a medicinal stone throughout the ancient Greek and Egyptian civilizations. With wintry bands of light blue, gray, and white, its pattern mimics that of a rushing river or a cloudy sky. It is often said to promote calm, serenity, and stress relief.
