Old-school myths
An emerald can melt a snake's eyes! Well, that's what people used to believe. They also thought these gems would relax your eyes if you looked through them. Other beliefs: Emeralds stopped bleeding, cured fevers, and kept the wearer calm. They also supposedly held powers for predicting the future.
