Ancient Myths About tho Origin o.
Various Gems.

Ancient Myths About tho Origin OF
Various Gems.
The Indians called rock crystal an
"unripe diamond" and until the be-
ginning of the eighteenth century India
was thought to be the only land which
produced that precious stone. 1t was
not, therefore, until the discovery of
India that the diamond was known to
us. Yet as far back as 500 B. C. a
"Didactic History" of precious stones
was written, and in Pliny's time the
supply must have been plentiful, rs
he wrote: I'VE drink out Of mass Of
gems, and our drinking vessels are
formed of emeralds." We are also
told that Nero aided his weak sight
by spectacles made of emeralds. But
1t is very difficult to determine whence
all the gems came, as discoveries took
care to leave no record. The nations
who traded in them were afraid Of
their whereabouts being known, and
even the most ancient merchants
would not disclose any definite locale
All sorts of myths have, accordingly,
sprung up concerning the origin of the
gems.
Diamond" was the name given to
youth who was turned into the hard
est and most brilliant of substances to
preserve him from the ills that flesh
is heir to-" Amethyst was beautiful
nymph beloved by Bacchus, but saved
from him by Diana, who changed
Amethyst into a gem; whereupon
Bacchus turned the gem into wine
color, and endowed the wearer with
the gift of preservation from intoxi
cation.
The pearl was thought to be dew
drop the shell had opened to receive.
Amb.r was said to be honey melted
by the sun, dropped into the sea. and
CONCEALED. According to the Talmud,
Noah had no light in the ark but that
which came from precious stones..-
