With this ring I thee wed, With my body I thee worship,
And with all my worldly goods, I thee endow.
~ The First Book of Common Prayer.

The oldest emerald mines were located in Egypt and named after Cleopatra. She is known for her passion for emeralds, using them in her official adornments. Later, the Spaniard Cortez discovered the mines of Colombia, from which some of the finest Emeralds are still mined. A famous gem dealer and mine owner is said to have quipped that the rare, fine, saturated green crystals found there (Colombia) are the yardstick by which all other emeralds are judged.
