41 emerald
Emerald has one of the longest history of all gems. The first known emerald mines were in southern Egypt and operated from 1000 years ago to the 1700s. This is a sign of the high value people have put in emeralds for centuries. Cherished by the various cultures of the world for at least 4,000 years, emeralds are said to accelerate the mind as well as intelligence. The legend gives its owner an eloquent gift.
In contrast to other beryl gems, emeralds usually have major defects in liquid and mineral cracks and inclusions. These inclusions are called "jardins" (or gardens) because they are typically similar to leaves and branches. These properties are not considered as the negative side of emeralds like other gems. In fact, these inclusions are considered as part of the properties of the stone and are used to guarantee the purchaser that the stone is genuine. Because emeralds are so rare without inclusions, some inclusions, like other gems, compromise the value of stones. Most emeralds in the market have been treated with various types of oils or resins today to improve their appearance.
Emeralds are cut in mining countries such as Jaipur, India and Tel Aviv, Israel as well as Brazil. Emeralds are one of the most difficult gems to cut because of the high value of the gemstones and the many inclusions in the crystals. Small changes in orientation can make a big difference in the final appearance of the gem. Skilled artisans specializing in cutting emeralds all over the world for jewelers claiming to have stones perfected for optimum brilliance and vibrancy
