ROUGH GEMS
Emerald
One of the most valuable and well-liked gemstones is the emerald, a green variant of the mineral beryl. Emeralds are found all throughout the world, including in Colombia, Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Austria, and acquire their name from the French word for green, "esmeralde."
The emerald has long been seen as a representation of love and sincerity. Emeralds were adored as the gem of Venus by the Greeks and Romans. The goddesses Juno, Minerva, and Diana were also associated with the emerald.
Emeralds were believed to possess healing and mystical properties. Emeralds were long thought to enhance both physical and spiritual vision, giving wearers access to revelations about the future.
One of the four most valuable gemstones in the world, along with rubies, diamonds, and sapphires, is the emerald. They are still a well-liked gemstone today and have historically been worn by royalty.
Emeralds are very appealing and alluring because of their fascinating velvety green color. Trace levels of chromium and vanadium in the stone are what give it its color.
Emeralds are thought to bring luck, offer protection, and provide direction. Additionally, they are thought to promote balance, harmony, and love in one’s life.
Emeralds share a connection with the heart chakra, the seat of love, compassion, and forgiveness, as do all other green stones and crystals.
Emeralds are a stone symbolizing romance and unwavering love. It may indicate that you are ready to open your heart to love if you are drawn to emeralds. They are generally given as a 20th or 35th anniversary gift and are the May birthstone.
On the Mohs scale of hardness, emeralds are a relatively hard gemstone, scoring between 7.8 and 8. This indicates that while they may resist normal wear and tear, harm is still possible if they are not properly maintained.
To clean your emeralds, merely use a soft cloth or brush and mild soapy water. The stone can be damaged by using abrasive cleansers or ultrasonic cleaners, so stay away from them. Then, to shield it from scuffs and scratches, cover it with mineral oil, baby oil, or paraffin wax.
Because they may readily scratch softer crystals, emeralds should be housed separately from other jewels. It’s ideal to wrap them separately in a soft cloth or set them in a soft crystal bag.
Emeralds produce stunning and unique jewelry. Emeralds are a gorgeous choice whether you’re searching for a piece to wear every day or something spectacular for a formal occasion.
