Some Things You Should Know About Rough Emerald

By Matthew Ward


Emerald is a beautiful, green to bluish-green beryl gemstone, although it may come in yellowish nuances as well. These lovely stones are primarily appreciated for their amazing color, which is derived from chromium or vanadium impurities. These impurities make it quite fragile, compared to diamonds, but also just irresistible. It can be bought as rough emerald, and one jeweler can transform it into something extraordinary.

The most beautiful and the most expensive emeralds usually come from Colombia. The ones that are purely green or sort of bluish green, are the most appreciated ones. Although there are other locations, emeralds from Zambia and Brazil, as well as those coming from Colombia, of course, are considered to be the best and the most beautiful. They can also be sort of yellowish, when it comes to their color.

Although some people prefer those yellowish nuances, the fact is that gemstones that have bluish or pure green color are the most valuable ones. Their color shouldn't be too dark, but the important thing is really their saturation, that should be really vivid, because this will result in really shiny, brilliant gems. Good quality cut is also really important.

Rough stones look quite different that you would expect from emeralds. On the other hand, their price is also quite different, and really affordable. The reason for it is that only a good cutter can make really nice gems by cutting those rough gemstones, bringing the best out of it. After that, smaller pieces can be used for making smaller gems, perfect for designing interesting jewelry pieces.

In fact, it became quite popular lately to use uncut pieces of emeralds in designing lovely pieces of jewelry. These pieces look simply adoring combined with silver, although emeralds also look great in combination with gold. But, these beautiful gemstones have also some other properties, beside their beauty, and some people appreciate them for their properties as well.

Emeralds bring balance into your life, but also the prosperity. They have calming properties, and stimulate your mind. Some people say that the color will slightly vary, depending on the owner of the stone. In any case, besides being incredibly beautiful, this gemstone will also make you feel better about yourself, and that is surely something to look forward to.

Buying rough gemstones may also be a very good investment, if you know what to buy and what to look for when choosing your stones. That's why you should know more about it all.
