Emerald, a highly prized gemstone, is a variety of the mineral Beryl, celebrated for its vibrant green hue. This color, caused by trace amounts of Chromium or Vanadium, ranges from bluish-green to pure green. Known for its inclusions, often referred to as "jardin," each emerald possesses a unique character. With a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, Emeralds are relatively durable, though their inclusions can make them susceptible to breakage. Highly valued for their beauty and rarity, Emeralds have captivated civilizations for centuries, serving as a classic symbol of rebirth and love.
