About Emerald
Emerald is the green variety of beryl, one of the world's most valued gemstones. Its color mainly results from the presence of chromium and, sometimes, vanadium during geological formation.
Matrix specimens allow observing emerald exactly as it developed in nature, preserving its relationship with the host rock, something highly valued by mineral collectors.
