Emerald Gemstones

Emeralds have been prized by many cultures throughout history. The Egyptians were some of the first to value emerald gemstones, and they used them in jewelry and other art. The Incas and Aztecs also held emeralds in high esteem, and the stone was even used as currency in some cases. The Roman emperor Nero is said to have watched gladiatorial contests through emeralds. Their name derives from esmeralda, the Greek word meaning green. Emeralds vary in color, ranging from pale green to deep green. The color is caused by traces of chromium and vanadium. Emeralds are found in several countries, including Colombia, Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Pakistan. The finest emeralds, however, come from Colombia.
