If you have an emerald story, or just a pretty piece of jewelry or stone that you want to show off, that'd be great!
I feel like it's one of the three biggies (sapphires, rubies and emeralds) but I don't think I know all that much about them.
This is what I know:
Colombian is best.
Don't ultrasonic them.
They're green.
Their inclusions are called "jardin", which is the French word for garden.
They are typically pretty included.
When being set, jewelers have to take painstaking care of them.
They are typically clarity treated. Oil is first, and acceptable. Resins are next, and not so acceptable.
