Nobody can question Pliny the Elder, who said that ‘Nothing Greens Greener’. Since his inspiration lay within the magic created by chromium and vanadium present in emerald, which produces its vibrant color. Moreover, there is a stronger reason behind this praiseworthy statement quoted by this Roman naturalist and natural philosopher. This vitreous luster crystal is intensely rich in its green shade with hints of blue, and is stable against light and heat and so does not fades.
The vibrant colored stone derives its name from Latin ‘smaragdus’ through Greek ‘smaragdos’. This fascinating green has been alluring man since the age of kings and queens. Till today, it has a same hype as before, from the rich, celebrities, to not so rich. One of oldest precious gemstones in the world, dating 4000 years old in history, emeralds are believed to be transmitters of good luck and success. Talking about its other positive effects, Vedas, the Indian Hindu scriptures say, that emeralds contain special medicinal and healing powers.
Otherwise than the above mentioned aspect, emerald is a color symbolizing youth, health and rejuvenation, and of course, love. Mughal period was a patronizing era for this lush-green stone jewelry to flourish because of its sacred color of Islam-green.
Mughal emperor Jahangir had a cup made of this mesmerizing precious gemstone or rather ‘gem rock’. It is kept in New York Museum of Natural History and attracts a large number of people to admire the awe-inspiring magnificence of emerald. Similarly, ‘Mughal Emerald’ is one of the largest emeralds in the world. This is rectangular-cut tablet which weighs 217.80 carats and measures 10 cm in height. It belongs to the late 17th century Mughal period.
Emerald, an intensely green splendid gemstone, varies in shades according to its source and location. Captivating green is sourced from Colombia, Zambia, and Brazil. They are also found in Australia, India, Pakistan, Russia, South Africa, and United States.
Colombian emeralds are dichroic, i.e., the color has two axes and varies in appearance depending upon the angle from which you look at it. Prominent shades found in these impeccable stones, come with hues of dark blue and dominate the markets since many years. The emerald roughs are harmed by shocks during extraction processes in the mines. Explosives and giant tractors used to accelerate the mining process are potentially harmful for them. However, this is taken care of.
Talking about Zambian emeralds, they are fine, deep emerald green, and are absolutely clean. Rarely, they are ‘eye-clean’ but possess inclusions like fibers or tremolite rods and internal cracks which are treated or filled with enhancements like oil-filling.
Brazilian emeralds are a little lighter in shade as compared to other emeralds found. These contain a yellow hint as compared to Colombian ones. Mostly free of inclusions, these emeralds are slightly cloudy in appearance.
