Emerald

About Emerald

Emerald, a variety of beryl, is celebrated for its rich green color and historic significance. Its vivid green hues are caused by traces of chromium and vanadium. Trade names include "Vivid Green" for bright, intense greens and "Trapiche Emerald" for stones showing star-like inclusions. Emeralds are found in Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. They often contain characteristic inclusions called "jardin," which are accepted as part of the stone's natural beauty and authenticity.
