It is sometimes known as “Uralian emerald,” a rather unfortunate name inasmuch as true emerald is found in the Urals, whilst it not infrequently passes in trade as olivine.

Stephanian or Uralian—represented in Russia by marine formations, and in central and western Europe by numerous small basins containing a peculiar flora and in some places a great variety of insects.

Lithia emerald is the mineral called hiddenite; Uralian emerald is a name given to demantoid; Brazilian emerald is merely green tourmaline; evening emerald is the peridot; pyro-emerald is fluorspar which phosphoresces with a green glow when heated; and “mother of emerald” is generally a green quartz or perhaps in some cases a green felspar.

Even moviegoers flocking to see Actress Ingrid Bergman in her current hit role as Anastasia have had to leave their theaters with the question unanswered: Was the bewildered, scarred and unstrung girl who claimed to have escaped alive from that Uralian basement really the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova, the Czar's fourth daughter?

It was from the parts beyond the Uralian mountains that they came, and when we visit those parts and ask for their original home, we find no such name, no such language, no such nationality as that of the Majiars.
