Historically, the earliest known locality for emeralds was by the Red Sea in Egypt at the so-called Cleopatra mines. Although evidence suggests that these mines were worked intermittently as early as 330 BC, production is believed to have opened up under the Romans around 30 BC – just after the reign of Julius Caesar.

At approximately 20 times rarer than diamonds, emeralds cost more in price. Even though diamonds pose as the rarest and most expensive gemstones, the fact is contrary to this notion. Emeralds cost more than diamonds, as they are 20 times rarer.

Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.
