Of the myriad legends surround the glittering diamond, one of the most widespread was the belief that it could determine guilt or innocence. The test was simple. If the accused was guilty, the adjudicating diamond would grow dark. In the presence of innocence, however, it would glow with increased brilliance. Symbolic of innocence, justice, faith, and strength, the diamond was believed to make its wearers courageous and to make them victorious over their enemies. When set in gold and worn on the left side, it had the power to drive away nightmares and to tame wild beasts.
Because a diamond was believed to sweat in the presence of poison, it was used to detect it. The gem frequently was worn to ward off poison, yet it was believed to be deadly when swallowed.
The finest diamonds were believed capable of reproducing themselves. It was thought that these special stones, when moistened with morning dew and left in the dark, would multiply. Other uses for diamonds were to ensure strong bones, to stop lechery, and to protect both the mother and baby during childbirth. The Hindus believed that this brilliant gem owed its origin to bolts of lightning striking rocks. The talismanic virtue of the diamond was said to be lost if the stone was purchased. To be effective the gem had to be given as a pledge of love or friendship. April's birthstone is said to be the most potent when set in steel.

History: Venus' gem, the brilliant green emerald is surrounded by rich lore. Emerald was worn to guard against plague, falling sickness, and venomous bites. As with other blue and green gems, it was considered to be an eye stone, and bathing the eyes with water in which this stone had soaked for six hours would cure most ailments.
Generally prescribed in dosages of 6 to 10 grains, finely powdered, the emerald was believed to relieve gout, liver complaints, and jaundice. It was held in the mouth to stop hemorrhage, and was placed on the belly and in the mouth to cure dysentery. Bound to a woman's thigh, this stone was thought to ease childbirth; a cataplasm of emerald was used to cure leprosy.
King Arthur's "San Graal," the Holy Grail, was carved from a large emerald, and so the gem became a symbol of chastity. In fact, it was believed that this pristine gem would break apart in the presence of lust, so its wearers were forced to choose between it and their passions. Mystical powers attributed to the emerald included the ability to foretell the future (place the stone under the tongue). One of its primary uses was to reveal adultery, since it was believed to grow dark when a lover was faithless. An interesting fancy concerning the emerald's origin was that the stone was "born" white and gradually "ripened" to its green hue.
Although emeralds were beneficial to human eyes, other creatures were not so fortunate. If a serpent gazed upon an emerald, it would be blinded. People born in May have emerald for their natal stone and are supposed to wear it set in gold.

History: According to the Talmud, Noah's ark was illuminated by a brilliant garnet. The ancient Greeks also attributed light giving properties to this glowing gem, which they called the "lamp stone," believing that it enabled its wearer to see in the dark. Cabochon garnets are known as carbuncles, which means "glowing coal." One superstition states that dragons' eyes were made of carbuncles.
Several curative properties were ascribed to the garnet. With other red and yellow gems, it shared the ability to staunch bleeding and cure blood ailments. Used as a heart stimulant, it was believed so effective that people were cautioned not to overuse it, lest they be stricken with apoplexy. This belief in the stone's potency is perhaps the reason that certain Asiatic tribes used garnet bullets, thinking them more deadly.
Garnets also were employed to cure "fluxions" of the eyes (tie to forehead with linen), dissolve tartar in the body, control incontinence, and ward off the plague. They were worn to drive out nightmares and evil thoughts - and, thereby, to relieve insomnia. January's natal stone, which comes in a variety of hues - from deep red through orange, yellow, brown, and even green - should be set in gold for maximum benefit. It is a traditional symbol of constancy. It is said to assure its wearer riches, good health, and joy.
