Emeralds are fascinating
gemstones. They have the most beautiful, most intense and most
radiant green that can possibly be imagined: emerald green.
Inclusions are tolerated. In top quality, fine emeralds are even
more valuable than diamonds.The name emerald comes from the Greek
'smaragdos' via the Old French 'esmeralde', and really just means
'green gemstone'. Innumerable fantastic stories have grown up
around this magnificent gem. The Incas and Aztecs of South
America, where the best emeralds are still found today, regarded
the emerald as a holy gemstone. However, probably the oldest known
finds were once made near the Red Sea in Egypt. Having said that,
these gemstone mines, already exploited by Egyptian pharaohs
between 3000 and 1500 B.C. and later referred to as 'Cleopatra's
Mines', had already been exhausted by the time they were
rediscovered in the early 19th century.The largest
uncut emerald was found in
Carnaiba, Brazil in 1974. It was an incredible 86,136-carat
natural beryl crystal. The stone was eventually valued at
$1,120,080 USD. The largest emerald crystal ever discovered was
7,025 carats and was found in a mine in Colombia.
The emerald is the sacred stone of the goddess
Venus. It was thought to preserve love. The emerald has long been
the symbol of hope. It is considered by many to be the stone of
prophecy. For some the emerald acts as a tranquilizer for a
troubled mind. The emerald is said to bring the wearer reason and
wisdom. The strongest time for the powers of the emerald is said
to be spring. The proper name for the emerald is beryl, but there
are different colors of beryl. Emerald green is the color as well
as the stone. Most emeralds have inclusions (bubbles) in them. If
the stone has too much blue in it, it is then an aquamarine. Pink
beryl is Morganite, yellow beryl is golden beryl, yellow-green
beryl is heliodor. There is also a rare red beryl. The best beryl
comes from Colombia and Brazil. Emerald can also be found in
India, Australia, South Africa, Pakistan, and Zimbabwe. An emerald
of the right shade of green can be more valuable than a diamond.
