A man is getting more conceited
It seems, a man is getting more and more conceited. Or the feeling of beauty disappears... Look at the gemstone names. The name Diamond derives from the ancient Greek ADAMAS: invincible. The name Amethyst comes from the Greek A ("not") and METHUSKEIN ("to intoxicate"), a reference to the belief that the stone protected its owner from drunkenness. And so on. What about modern names? Uvarovite is named after Count Sergei Semenovitch Uvarov (1765-1855), a Russian statesman. Morganite is named after J.P.Morgan, the famous financier. Kunzite is named in honor of New York mineralogist and gemologist George Frederick Kunz. The old names seem to be more colorful and romantic!
