It changed from Greek to Latin as smaragdus, then to esmaurde, esmralde, and in the 16th century to esmeralde. Rome’s Pliny the Elder described emerald in his Natural History, published in the first century AD: “…nothing greens greener” was his verdict. He described the use of Emerald by early lapidaries, who “have no better method of restoring their eyes than by looking at the emerald, its soft, green color comforting and removing their weariness and lassitude.” Many gem cutters used to keep Emeralds on their workbenches and rest their eyes on them after long hours of close work on other gems.
