What is Emerald Crystal?

Emerald is a precious green variety of the mineral Beryl, which forms in granite and pegmatite rocks, taking its color from additional chromium and vanadium atoms.

Colors range from a milky green with a somewhat plastic appearance, to a deep transparent green that Emerald is famous for.

Due to this famous range of green colors, Emeralds have always been associated with Spring, New Life, and renewal.

First mined in Egypt over 4,000 years ago, today Emerald is found in southern Africa, South America, Russia, and Pakistan.

Natural Emerald is one of the four main precious stones, ranking with Diamond, Ruby, and Sapphire as one of the four most valuable stones in the world.

As the green variety or Beryl, Emerald is a form of beryllium aluminum silicate that may also be called Green Beryl in its less valuable forms.

emeraldWhile low quality, cloudy examples are relatively common, the finest, most verdant examples of Emerald Crystals are extremely rare and very valuable.

Emerald Gemstones generally form in long, hexagonal crystals which are usually faceted or domed on the ends.

In mystical circles, Emerald is not just known as a powerful, life-renewing crystal, but is also associated with Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus which held the secret to Hermetic Wisdom.

For this reason, Emerald Crystal is associated with magic, mystery, and the cosmic powers of unseen life-giving forces at work in our everyday reality.
