Emerald Gemstones

Emerald is a light to dark green gemstone, a form of the mineral beryl that derives its color from the elements chromium and vanadium.

Large emeralds are particularly rare. Deeper green emeralds are the most highly valued, and small inclusions are not as detrimental to the value of an emerald as they are to many other gemstones.

Emeralds are often oiled to improve their clarity and to soften the appearance of inclusions. This process is routine and generally not disclosed.

According to legend, Satan lost an emerald from his crown when he fell from Heaven, which was later found and shaped into a bowl by the Queen of Sheba.
