Emerald is the most popular green gem in demand in the jewelry industry today. It’s known as one of the core precious stones alongside diamonds, sapphires, and rubies.
Emeralds are the light to dark green variety of the mineral beryl. Other popular colored stones that hail from the beryl family include morganite and aquamarine.
The first emerald deposits opened up as early as 500BC. Emeralds have been used since ancient times and were popular during Cleopatra’s reign.
