    The name emerald came from the Greek word "Smaragdos", which means green stone. It is believed that emerald is the symbol of good luck. It is considered to be a precious gemstone variety. The dark green color of emerald attracts buyers as the green color of emerald is oustanding , unlike the green color of the other gemstones. That is why the color is called "Green Emerald".

    The Green color of emerald results from trace elements of chromium (Cr) or Vanadium (V) which are found in the crystal structure of the stone. The green color of emerald usually has yellow and blue overtones and we always find fractures in the stones because of the nature of the stone. Good quality emerald will have a beautiful green color, with the most famous emerald coming from Chivor and Muzo in Colombia. There is also good quality emerald in Brazil, Zambia, Russia, Zimbabwe, madagascar and other locations.
