One of the more
expensive Semiprecious
stone
, this birthstone of May is the stone of love and life. In some
cultures, the emerald is the traditional gift for the 55th wedding anniversary.
It is also used as a 20th and 35th wedding anniversary stone.

One of the most
popular gemstone
jewelry
of all time, it has been used in many crowns and scepters. Emeralds
range in shades of green, but the deepest ones hold the most value and can even
cost more than diamonds.

Normally, in the
grading of colored gemstones, color is by far the most important criterion.
However, in the grading of emerald, crystal is considered a close second. Both
are necessary conditions. A fine emerald must possess not only a pure verdant
green hue, but also a high degree of transparency to be considered a top gem.

Emerald tends to
have numerous inclusions and surface breaking fissures.

Most emeralds are
oiled as part of the post lapidary process, in order to improve their clarity.

Emerald is a rare
and valuable gemstone and as such, it has provided the incentive for developing
synthetic emeralds. In this way, this precious gemstone is more accessible.
