EMERALD
Emerald 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 Come From?
The three primary Emerald deposits are in Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia. Emeralds are mined around the globe in countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Australia, and the U.S.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q When choosing Emeralds, 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.
