There are less fine large emeralds in the world than there are diamonds! Emeralds vary greatly in color from deep to light deep green. Most large emeralds have cracks and inclusions and may be cloudy. Natural inclusions are often referred to as 'The Garden of the Emerald". Emeralds are commonly oiled to disguise the flaws and enhance their color. The emerald belongs to the beryl family of minerals, or beryllium aluminum silicate in chemical jargon. Emeralds can lose color when heated strongly.
EMERALD HISTORY Emerald was mined in Egypt as early as 330 B.C. Today, most of the world's emeralds are mined in Colombia, Brazil, Afghanistan, and Zambia. THE HEALING POWERS Sometimes used to symbolize the reproductive forces of nature, and believed to grant the owner foresight, good fortune, and youth.
CARE FOR YOUR EMERALD Do not wear your emerald ring on while washing dishes or using soap, emeralds will attract grease and soap. Avoid wearing your emerald when you might be engaging in physical activity that might scratch the stone.
Do not use ultrasonic cleaners, steam cleaners or harsh chemicals. Clean your emerald using room temperature running water and a soft toothbrush with mild soap like hand soap.be sure to clean the underside to remove accumulations of dirt and grease. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.
