Emerald is a precious gemstone known for its rich green color, which symbolizes renewal, growth, and prosperity. Belonging to the beryl family of minerals, its vibrant hue comes from trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. Prized for centuries, emeralds have adorned royalty and held significance in various cultures for their mystical and healing properties. Due to their natural formation, most emeralds contain inclusions—often referred to as the gem’s “jardin” or garden—which are considered part of their unique beauty rather than flaws. These stones are primarily sourced from Colombia, Zambia, and Brazil, with Colombian emeralds being the most famous for their deep, pure green tone.
