NATURAL EMERALD GEMSTONE / BEADS
Emerald gemstone is a green-colored, highly precious stone of the Beryl mineral family. For centuries, emeralds have been adornments in the form of jewelry. They are twenty times rarer than diamonds but, in the finest grades, are worth approximately the same per carat as diamonds. Emeralds are readily available in lesser grades and can even be found in substantial sizes. Fine qualities in emeralds, however, are exceedingly rare in any size.

Where Does Emerald stone Come From?
The three primary Emerald gemstone deposits are in Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia. Emeralds are mined around the globe in countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Australia, and the U.S.
How To Ensure The Quality Of Emerald Gemstone?
In emeralds, the brighter and greener the color, the higher the value it holds in the market. However, too much iron (which can be found in some varieties) can cause a bluish tint, decreasing the value of green Emerald stones in the market. Since most Colombian Emeralds are vividly saturated and display a delicate balance between green and blue, the Colombian Emerald's price per carat is higher than other origins.
Almost all emeralds will have inclusions, meaning each piece will have a higher clarity grade. The cost of emeralds goes up drastically for stones without visible inclusions. For this reason, the Zambian emerald price per carat is higher than other origins because of its relative clarity.
Due to the crystal shape emeralds are commonly cut as rectangular step cuts called emerald cuts.
The smallest and yet most important factor can influence the quality of an Emerald, especially when size and clarity co-exist on the same scale. Emeralds are relatively included, so finding an Emerald above a few carats with clear clarity. Likewise, Emerald's quality will reflect its rarity. On the other hand, a dull green Emerald with a low carat weight will be less valued than a bright green one with a greenish-blue tone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q When choosing Emeralds gemstone/Beads, what should I value more – color or clarity?
A Before selecting a gemstone, it is crucial to be aware of the importance of the stone. For example, green Emerald is worn for astrological necessity and jewelry. However, if the greenstone is used for merely ornamental purposes or jewelry, the wearer can choose a more cleanly cut stone as per his preference. In addition, color dominates the price of this highly popular gemstone, not clarity. For that reason, the value of Colombian Emerald in international or national markets is far superior to other origins.
