Emerald (Panna) Hardness 7.5
to 8, Specific gravity 2.69 to 2.8, Refractive index 1.57, Dispersion
0.014 An emerald is the green variety of beryl, a silicate of aluminum
and beryllium. Emeralds have a low dispersion and a glassy look. Their
crystal system is hexagonal. Pale blue aquamarine, pale green beryl, golden helidor, and pink morganite are also beryls made of the same chemical composition, but each has a different color. If an emerald is too light green, it is not considered a true emeralds, but is called a green beryl. An emerald is a rich translucent greenlike green grass glistening in the dew. A flawless emerald is transparent, brilliant, radiant, and has bright spraying rays. Emeralds have almost no fire. They retain their color in artificial light, whereas most green gems do not. Flawless gems are rare. A high quality emerald can cost $20,000 per carat, and is more valuable than a high quality ruby. Emeralds are mainly mined in Colombia and Brazil, and are also found in Africa, Zambia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iran, Russia, Egypt, India (near Ajmer and Udaipur), and Rhodesia. Colombian emeralds are considered the best, and those mined in Muzo are considered the best of those mined in Colombia. About ninety percent of the worlds natural emeralds come from Colombia. These emeralds are generally more translucent and possess better color than emeralds from other places. The emeralds from Ajmer are a paler green but still attractive. Emeralds from Udaipur tend to be darker, but they are brittle. A rectangular step-cut (emerald cut) is generally used for emeralds,
because it focuses on the depth of the emerald crystal and brings
out the gems beautiful color. Emeralds are one of the hardest
gems to cut. They tend to be brittle, and if handled improperly, will
chip or break. They are extremely hardharder than steel.Quite
a variety of synthetic emeralds have been developed over time. Synthetic
emeralds have been produced since 1934. They often command a high
price. The main site for emerald processing and sales is the Indian city
of Jaipur. Emeralds from all over the world are sent to Jaipur for
processing. Most emeralds have tiny cracks or inclusions, reducing their value.
Emeralds tend to have more inclusions than most gems. It is best to
avoid gems with cracks close to the surface as the durability of the
gem can be affected. Almost all emeralds are placed in oil immediately upon coming from
the mines. This helps rid them of inclusions at the surface. Emeralds
are also sometimes oiled to conceal cracks or dyed to improve their
color. Both of these are fraudulent practices if the seller does not
disclose this treatment to the buyer. A good way to examine an emerald
is to hold it with tweezers under water. By then looking at it through
the glass, it is possible to see if the gem has been dyed or oiled.
Emeralds that are dyed, oiled or treated do not have a good effect
astrologically, and should not be used for astrological purposes.

cosmic force, so flawed emeralds should not be used. Green is the
cosmic color emeralds enhance, and the cosmic number is five.The best
emeralds are smooth, brilliant, transparent, radiant, free of spots,
have a rich even color, appear to glow, and have no bad internal or
external flaws. They should also be well cut. An emerald should reflect
a good light that shines like lightning. An emerald that does not show glow, appears transparent in the center, or has a lighter tone, is not a first-class stone. An emerald is also considered inferior if it is too dark.

Wearers can formulate good ideas and will possess the strength to enact them. Emeralds can be useful for businessmen, printers, publishers, scientists,
and writers. They can be good for those working in the chemical business,
in public relations, medical equipment, diplomats, mediators, and
factory owners. They help with communication and verbal skills, and
are therefore good for writers, actors, and public speakers. Businessmen
