Nothing Greens Greener this Spring, May Birthstone
MAY BIRTHSTONE | EMERALD
Hello from Allison Alane,
Spring is here in New York City and with it the season of new growth, new beginnings and my favorite birthstone! The emerald in all it’s glowing green glory has arrived! This May birthstone’s lush green has soothed souls and excited imaginations since antiquity - including Queen Cleopatra. So May darlings, know you are in illustrious company and your taste is unrivaled.
Secret Story
Emerald is the bluish green to green variety of beryl, a mineral species that also includes aquamarine. To be considered an emerald, it’s all about color. Roman author Pliny the Elder wrote that “nothing greens greener” than this May birthstone.
