DID YOU KNOW? 10 Emerald Fun Facts

  • Emerald is the green gemstone variety of the beryl mineral. The green colour comes from trace amounts of chromium and/or sometimes vanadium.
  • While beryl's range from yellow-green to blue-green, only the medium to dark true green colours are considered emeralds.
  • The word emerald comes from the ancient Greek word for green, “smaragdus” 
  • Throughout history, the emerald has symbolized true love and wealth. Its green colour conveys nature, renewal, and growth.
  • Emerald is the gem for 55th wedding anniversaries, as well as for the 20th and 35th.
  • Because emeralds are formed in long crystals, a rectangular-shaped cut (i.e., "emerald cut") ensures maximum brilliance.
  • Emerald is ranked as 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, making it a stone that requires more care in wearing. However, with proper care emeralds can last for generations.
  • Emeralds are mined throughout the world, but most come from Zambia, Colombia and Brazil.
  • Emeralds are naturally form where beryl crystal grows and when there is enough chromium and vanadium present to give it its brilliant green hue.
  • Emeralds are one of the four most valuable gemstones in the world. The other three are diamonds, rubies and sapphires.
