best.Emerald is the Virgo birthstone . It improves faculties related to brain
such as memory, communication, intuition, the intellect, and the ability to
learn. This is normally petal green or dark green in colour. Green for a man
signifies joy and hope; for a woman, ambition and change.Emerald is a hot gem.

for newly-wed couples. It is said that newly married couples should not use it
as it impairs conjugal happiness due to reduction in sexual desires. Once the
relationship is underway, wear emerald to protect it, enhance fertility and ease
childbirth when that baby comes. Emerald is believed to cure eye problems, aid
