Emerald
Gemstone is a variety of the mineral beryl, colored
green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes irons.
Emerald Gemstone is highly prized as a gemstone and by
weight is the most valuable gemstone in the world, often
made more so by inclusions, which all emeralds have.
Beryl has a hardness of 8 on the 10 point Mohs scale of
hardness.
Emerald Gemstone is a rare and valuable gemstone and, as
such, provided the incentive for
developing synthetic emeralds. Both hydrothermal and
flux-growth synthetics have been produced and a method
has been developed for producing an Emerald Gemstone
overgrowth on colorless beryl.
Emerald Gemstone is regarded as the traditional
birthstone for May. In some cultures the Emerald
Gemstone is the traditional gift for the 55th wedding
anniversary.
Emerald Gemstone is Velvety green in color; the most
coveted Emerald Gemstone is that which is radiant and
smooth and has neither cracks nor dots. Emerald Gemstone
harmonizes and strengthens the positive influences of
Budha or mercury. Emerald Gemstone influences include
intelligence, education, speech, teaching, learning,
communication, confidence, writing, drawing, trade,
humor, wit, discrimination, diplomacy, intellect and
commerce. |
