Why these stones suit Virgo
Emerald (Zamurd) — Zamurd
Emerald is beryl (beryllium aluminium silicate) with a hardness of 7.5–8 on the Mohs scale, bluish-green to vivid grass green. In astrology it is linked with Mercury (Budh) and recommended for Taurus, Gemini and Virgo (May birthstone). It is worn on the little finger of the right hand, set in gold or silver, first worn on a Wednesday morning. Price is set by colour (a vivid, evenly saturated green), clarity (inclusions — the "jardin" — are normal), carat weight, origin (Swat and Colombian stones are prized) and the amount of oil treatment.
Peridot — Zabarjad
Peridot is olivine (magnesium iron silicate) with a hardness of 6.5–7 on the Mohs scale, yellowish-green to olive green. In astrology it is linked with Mercury and recommended for Leo and Virgo (August birthstone). It is worn on a ring on the little finger or a pendant, set in silver or gold, on a Wednesday. Price is set by colour (pure green without brown is most valued), clarity, carat weight and cut — Pakistani Sapat peridot commands a premium.
