About the stone
Emerald is a green precious variety of beryl, a beryllium aluminium silicate. It owes its distinctive cool color to traces of chromium and vanadium. This stone most often forms in pegmatites and contact-metamorphic zones. The most historically and currently important deposits of this mineral are located in Brazil, Colombia, and Zambia. Its characteristic feature is its internal inclusions, known in France as 'jardin'. Learn more in the article Emerald - the jewel of kings on our blog.
