  Emerald is the green to greenish blue variety of beryl, a mineral species that also includes aquamarine as well as beryls in other colors.

  The name emerald derives from the Greek Smaragdos, which in turn came perhaps from the Persian. It means “green stone” and in ancient times referred not only to emeralds, but also most green stones.

  Emerald, together with aquamarine and beryl belong to the beryl group, with Emeralds being the most precious of that group. Its green is incomparable and therefore called “emerald green”. The pigment is chrome, sometimes vanadium, The color is also very stable against light and heat. Often the emerald is clouded by inclusions (liquid or gas bubbles, healing cracks and foreign crystals). These are not necessarily classified as faults, but are evidence as to the genuineness of the stone as compared with synthetic or laboratory (man made imitations which may have the same chemical compositions). The expert refers to the inclusions as a “jardin” (garden).
