Pliny relates that tomb at Cyprus bore a
lion carved with eyes of emeralds 30 bright they
frightened away the fish in the sea. Nero wore
an eye-glass of emerald which was supposed
good for the sight, and it is said that lapidaries
who cut emeralds have good eyesight because
the hue of the stone refreshes the eye. The
Orientals believe that wearing emerald inn
parts courage and averts various disorders. At
the conquest of Peru the Spaniards captured
hundred weights of emeralds, ana one dedi-
Gated to the goddess Esmeralda was the size of
an ostrich egg Cortez gave his bride large
emerald carved like = rose, which reused the
Queen's envy and lost him the court favor.
