Pop culture emphasizes beauty in being flawless but emeralds go against the grain. Their beauty is actually found in their flaws. From dark to medium shades of green and sometimes a hint of blue, this spectacular gem comes from the beryl family. 

This beauty doesn’t need the approval of pop culture. It has Cleopatra backing it up. She was obsessed with the emerald’s charm, and so did the rest of regal society throughout that time in history. 

So especially if you were born in the month of May, wear this gem proudly. Flaws and all!
