Common Emerald Treatments
Most emeralds are treated to enhance their appearance. Even though treatments are common and accepted, they should be disclosed to buyers.
Nearly all emeralds are treated with oils or epoxy resins to fill-in surface cracks, making the cracks less visible and improving transparency.
Some coating oils are clear, some are tinted green to make the emeralds more vivid.
Most jewelers tell us to avoid cleaning emeralds with ultra-sonic devices, because that process can remove coatings.

Emerald History and Folklore
Emeralds are traditionally thought to enhance the clairvoyance of their wearers.
Egyptian emeralds were introduced to the world about 4,000 years ago, but the stones from those mines are a duller green and are not considered high quality by today’s standards.
Mummies were often buried with emeralds and the gems were popular in ancient Rome, but some think that many of the stones called emeralds in ancient times were actually peridot.
Traditionally, emeralds are worn to promote healing and enhance love and contentment.

About Emeralds
Emerald hardness ranges from 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale. Compare turquoise at 5 to 6 and diamonds, the hardest substance, at 10.
Even though emeralds are relatively hard stones, the presence of cracks and inclusions in emeralds can affect their durability.
Emerald is the May birthstone and the traditional gift for the 55th wedding anniversary.
Colombian emeralds are among the world’s most beautiful, with rich grass-green coloring that’s often kissed with a touch of blue. Quality emeralds are also found in India, South Africa, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Russia, and Zimbabwe. Recent finds in North Carolina may provide us with quality emeralds if the mine continues to produce stones.

Prized since ancient times, a fine emerald can be more expensive than a high quality diamond of the same carat weight.
Emeralds are green members of the popular beryl family of minerals. The green color occurs when pure, clear beryl contains either chromium or vanadium.
Beryl occurs in many other colors, with shades dependent on the impurities that Mother Nature has mixed into its otherwise clear formula. Blue beryl is known as aquamarine. Pink shades of beryl are known as Morganite. Yellows are often simply called yellow beryl and golden beryl. The term bixbite refers to red beryl, a variation that’s even more rare than emeralds.
