Many other cultures placed emerald in a significant position throughout their cultures. Age of kings and queens has also been evident of emerald being the most sought after one. Ptolemy, the Egyptian king in first century BC, gave a large emerald to his general. It was engraved with portrait of Lucullus, the great Roman general.
