The magical properties of the emerald stone and who it suits according to their zodiac sign

Emerald is a stone of rare beauty and is considered a symbol of hope, wisdom and insight. It has many names. So, in French the stone was called emerald, and the ancient Slavs called it emerald. Emerald refers to gemstones that have a green tint.

Emerald is a stone that has a spectacular appearance.

Place of Birth

Good emeralds are rare, most of them are found in the Colombian deposits of Tunja (the deposit was discovered in 1555) and Muso (known since 1537), in New Granada, Zambia, Brazil and Egypt.
Emeralds of lower quality are found in Habachtal, in Salzburg (Austria), in the Mourne mountains (Ireland), on Lake Mjoesen (Norway) and in some other places. Emeralds are also mined in Russia, USA, Canada, Australia, Spain, France, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Bulgaria, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, China, Cambodia, Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa, Somalia, Nigeria, Namibia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Madagascar.

Where are green gems mined?

In nature, emerald deposits are accompanied by a specific rock called greisen. It is through it that geologists find new deposits of precious stones. It forms in places where hot water from wells over the centuries destroys granite and changes its structure.

The world's largest example of emerald was found in India.

It was under these conditions that Colombian emeralds were formed, which since the beginning of the twentieth century have been considered the best in the world. Geologically, hydrocarbonate shales combined with granites are ideal for forming green gemstones.

Typically, a deposit appears as a large number of inclusions in an ore vein. More than half of the world market is occupied by Colombian and Brazilian emeralds. Only in this region do you come across trapiche - unique stones of a bluish-green or blue hue. It is believed that they can only form in shale ore conditions unique to Latin America.

Mining is also carried out in other countries:

• Canada;
• USA;
• Pakistan;
• Afghanistan;
• India;
• Madagascar.

In Russia, especially in the Urals, green beryl is also mined. Minerals from this region are famous for their size and transparency, although the deposits themselves are not rich, and such products do not occupy a significant share of the world market. However, the world's largest sample of emerald was discovered not on the territory of the Russian Federation, but in India.

Types of emeralds

Varieties of emeralds found in nature are usually distinguished depending on the place of extraction.

Emeralds of Colombia

Nowadays, from 50 to 95% of all emerald production comes from Colombia (the exact percentage varies greatly from year to year in different directions). Between 2000 and 2010, emerald production in Colombia increased by 78%. In addition to regular emeralds, Colombia also produces trapice emerald, which is distinguished by the formation of crystals in the shape of a wheel with spokes.

Emeralds of Zambia

Zambian emeralds are of higher quality than Colombian ones. Zambia's largest emerald deposit is the Kagem mine, which is located 45 km southeast of the city of Kitwe. In 2004, about 20% of all emeralds mined that year were mined here, making Zambia the second “emerald” country after Colombia. In the first 6 months of 2011, 3.74 tons of emeralds were mined in the Kagem mines.

Zambian emeralds

Emeralds of Brazil

Stones mined in Brazil are lighter and much purer than Colombian ones. It was also here that the world's largest emerald was found at 57,500 carats (11.5 kg), named Teodora and approximately valued at $1.15 million.

Emeralds of Egypt

In Egypt, emeralds are mined in mines near El Quseir and Mount Zabara (this deposit, according to hieroglyphic monuments found there, was mined already in 1650 BC).

Deposits near Aswan, 50-60 km from the Red Sea coast, were developed under Pharaoh Sesostris III about 37 centuries ago. Slave miners dug shafts up to 200 meters deep in strong shale, which could accommodate up to 400 people at a time.

It was believed that emerald was afraid of light, so the work was carried out in complete darkness. On the surface, the emerald-bearing rock was split into pieces and smeared with olive oil in order to distinguish the precious crystals.

Emeralds of Afghanistan

Or the Panjshir Emeralds, mined in the upper reaches of the Panjshir Gorge, in the area of ​​Pawat, in the villages: Piryakh, Mabain, Zaradhak - 10-13 kilometers southeast and east of the village of Pishgor, in each of which from 20 to 40 mines were concentrated, and Also in the Darkhinj gorge there are significant deposits of emeralds.

During the Afghan War (1979-1989), the development of emeralds in the Panjshir Gorge was under the control of a major field commander, Ahmad Shah Massoud. After mining, the emerald was sent to Pakistan for processing, and from there distributed to international markets.

The amount of funds received for emeralds during this period averaged up to $10 million per year. Mining work on rocky soils was carried out by Japanese drilling rigs with the involvement of Western European engineers.

Afghan emeralds

According to jeweler Oded Burshtein, Afghan emeralds are an equal alternative to emeralds from Colombia and Zambia, they compete equally in beauty, and even better quality, since the crystal of the Afghan emerald is cleaner and denser, and emits more bright shine, has a unique shade and hardness when cut , due to the natural hardness of the crystal itself.

“Only by acquiring an Afghan emerald can you truly appreciate its beauty, rich brilliance, durability and unique green hue. And the fact that there are very few green beryls from Afghanistan on the gemstone market makes them even more desirable.”

— Oded Burshtein “Inbar Fine Jewellery.”

Ural emeralds

The emerald mines of the Urals were discovered by Maxim Kozhevnikov and Yakov Kokovin in 1831 at the confluence of the Tokovaya River and the Bolshoy Reft River, 90 km northeast of Yekaterinburg. They are famous for their emerald crystals, unique in size, as well as alexandrite and phenacite.

Ural emeralds

During the first century of development, more than 15 tons of precious stones were mined here. The emerald mining area is 25 km long and 2 km wide; there are several deposits located here, including Malyshevskoye. In these bedrock deposits, emeralds are found embedded in carbonaceous limestone and mica schist.

History of the stone

The first archaeological evidence of the use of green crystals dates back to the heyday of the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia. Even in those days, their cost was incredibly high. Even an uncut emerald could fetch a whole herd of cattle. In ancient Egypt, stone mines with tools that were more than three thousand years old were discovered. In the tombs of the pharaohs, archaeologists found the oldest specimens of gems that had been in the hands of jewelers.

It is known that the Greeks valued beryls very much, especially green ones - that is, emeralds. Herodotus, the father of history, tells us that famous politicians such as Polycartes wore rings with a stone as a sign of their power.

In the Middle Ages, emerald in Rus' and Europe was very rare to find. It is believed that it was during that era that the price of the crystal, already quite high, increased by several orders of magnitude. Stones were brought, as a rule, from India or Egypt by Persian merchants. They called it "zummurud". From this word comes the old name for the gem, which is still preserved in many European languages ​​- “izmaragd” or “smaragd”. In Russian, another form has taken root, derived from the Turkish word “freeze.”

In 1839, deposits of emeralds were discovered on the territory of the Russian Empire. This happened in the Yekaterinburg province, near a river called Tokovaya. Subsequently, the development of precious stone deposits began there.

Areas of application

Emerald crystals
The main use of emeralds is in the production of jewelry.

Stones of a deep green tone are most valued; even if there are inclusions, they are preferred to be pale colored, even almost transparent.

To process transparent emeralds, the following types of cuts are used: step, rectangular “emerald” or “square”, less often diamond. Translucent stones are processed in the form of cabochons.

Dichroism must be taken into account.

It should be noted that only a very small part of emeralds is processed in the countries where they are mined. The highest quality emeralds are processed in Idar-Oberstein (Germany), Ramat Gan (Israel), London, Geneva and New York. Medium and low quality stones, which make up the bulk of mined minerals and are suitable for making cabochons, are processed in India. They are often combined with diamonds in jewelry.

The luster of emerald is usually vitreous. The physical properties, especially density, light and birefringence, as well as pleochroism, vary somewhat among emeralds from different deposits.

The quality of jewelry stones is assessed in accordance with international requirements. The most valuable are bright green crystals with minor inclusions. Bright color is the main factor influencing the price.

Emerald inserts adorn many pieces of jewelry stored in museums or state treasuries.

Emeralds are also used to create solid-state lasers. Synthetic emeralds are used in quantum electronics.

Color varieties

All emeralds differ in color, as well as in the degree of transparency, but they are classified according to their places of extraction. There are the following types of emeralds:

• Colombian. The stones are grass-colored and have minimal damage and defects. Colombians also mine a special type of stone - “trapiche”. This is a nugget with a design that resembles a wheel with six spokes radiating out from the center of the crystal.
• Brazilian. Minerals are lighter and more transparent than Colombian ones.
• Zambian. They are considered the most beautiful of all stones mined on the planet. Crystals from Zambia are ideally clean, transparent, rich green in color. There are specimens with a yellow or blue tint.
• Zimbabwean stones combine two shades - green and yellow.
• Ural. The nuggets are large in size, densely green in color, but opaque.
• South African. Light crystals, cloudy. Such stones are processed only as cabochons.

When assessing the jewelry quality of an emerald, the first criterion is the color of the stone. Rich, deep green minerals are highly prized, even if they have minor imperfections. A perfectly transparent, but light-colored nugget costs less. Emeralds that are flawless in all respects are worth more than diamonds with similar characteristics.

Emerald products and jewelry

Tiara of the Duchess of Anjou, contains 40 emeralds and 1031 diamonds.
Made in 1819-1820. in Paris Emerald is used for jewelry of all types. They are worn on special occasions, with a wardrobe of the same level.

Pairs with rubies or sapphires. The height of chic is a scattering of diamonds around a stone in gold or platinum.

Gold jewelry is the best gift for a woman on a special occasion. Earrings, bracelet or necklace are given for the birth of a child. An emerald ring is bought for an engagement or wedding.

The men's assortment includes a massive platinum or silver ring, a tie clip, and cufflinks with a rectangular translucent emerald.

The modern bohemian trend is deliberately careless large jewelry with unpolished inserts. Silver is light or blackened.

The stone is valued based on color and origin (stone cost per carat):

• bright green - $2000;
• pale - $500;
• artificial - $200.

Price of emerald jewelry:

• in gold: earrings - $130-500, ring - $100-300;
• with diamonds: ring - $200-500, pendant - $70-200, earrings - $150-700.

Silver accessories are equipped with nanocrystal inserts. The price of such emeralds is several times less than natural material. For example, a ring costs about $30, earrings - $25-30.

How to distinguish an original from a fake

Colombian emeralds
The stone’s belonging to the huge beryl family, as well as developed technologies for the production of artificial stones, create a real haven for unscrupulous sellers. They can sell cheaper emerald “relatives” at a price close to the cost of the gem. Also, many of them sell laboratory crystals or even pieces of glass.

In order not to make a mistake when buying an expensive gem, you need to remember what an emerald looks like if you examine it carefully.

• Emerald tends to change its hue depending on the angle at which it is viewed. This property is called dichroism. By turning the stone, you can see how it turns from dark green to bluish or vice versa.
• Natural emeralds, at least jewelry examples, always have a velvety hue. Light green, light green, “bottle” stones are crystal-like beryls of cheaper varieties, or synthetics.
• Natural gems are almost never perfect. Those that do not have cracks, air bubbles, abrasions or “grains” of a different color are more expensive than diamonds. You will never see them in regular jewelry stores; these are collector's items. Defects can be examined with a magnifying glass. If they are not there, you have a laboratory stone in front of you.

South African emeralds

Its passport can also tell a lot about a gem. If it contains the phrase “hydrothermal emerald,” it means that the stone was grown in a laboratory. This crystal is completely identical to the best specimens from Colombia. The technologies used to produce these minerals are considered a trade secret.

Gems of this type are free from flaws, have a rich color and a bright play of light. But their cost is much lower than that of natural emeralds, so when they try to sell such a specimen at the price of a genuine one, it is a fraud.

For those who plan to buy a crystal for use in magical practices, hydrothermal stone is not suitable. Only natural gems have magical properties. This is due to the fact that real minerals grow in the earth for thousands of years, absorbing cosmic and earthly energy. Laboratory specimens, no matter how beautiful they are, simply do not have the time to acquire the appropriate energy.

Emerald color

What color is emerald? This question interests many people. The main color of the stones is green. The shade is affected by the presence of impurities. These include: chromium oxide, iron oxide, vanadium oxide.

If we talk about color, emerald has 5 main varieties. They depend on the tone and lightness. As a rule, stones are divided by shade:

• light;
• medium light;
• medium - it is often called herbaceous;
• medium dark;
• dark.

When purchasing a natural stone, you need to take into account that emerald contains many inclusions and cracks. Therefore, its purity should not be assessed too strictly.

Emerald can have a darker or lighter shade.

Artificial emerald

Synthetic cut emerald
Artificial emeralds are similar to natural stones, but their density and refractive indices are lower than those of natural ones. Synthetic emeralds have a very distinctive rich bluish-green color, although some Colombian emeralds have similar properties. Through the Chelsea filter they appear intensely red - significantly redder than most natural emeralds.

Regular and artificial emeralds are distinguished using filtered ultraviolet radiation (360 nm), to which real emeralds do not normally react, but synthetic emeralds exhibit chestnut-brown luminescence.

However, this rule is not always confirmed. Many natural emeralds can also react to filtered ultraviolet light.

Currently, industrial methods have been developed for the synthesis of emerald, which is indistinguishable from natural in color and superior in quality.

But the cost of synthetic emerald on the international market remains tens of times lower than natural emerald, since natural emerald is less common. It is possible to grow synthetic emeralds of quite large sizes, up to hundreds of carats.

Artificial emeralds

The production technology is kept secret. For example, the Carroll Chatham Laboratory, California, USA, only accepts workers with incomplete secondary education. It is known that crystals are grown using the flux method in a platinum crucible on a natural emerald seed. In addition, crystal growth is very sensitive to voltage surges.

Since the second half of the 19th century, specialists from several countries have tried to solve the problem of emerald synthesis. The first successful experiments date back to 1888 (France), but a full-fledged artificial emerald was obtained only in 1935 in Germany by the scientist G. Espigue and his colleagues and was named “igmerald” - after the first letters of the company name and the English “emerald” - emerald . Since 1940, the Americans have established industrial production of Igmerald.

Today, emeralds are also produced in Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, Russia and Belarus.

The largest producer of water-based emeralds in the world is the Tairus company, a joint venture between Russia and Thailand. The company managed to synthesize emeralds that are no different in composition from Colombian ones.

Physical and chemical properties

The formula of emerald is Be3Al2Si6O18, that is, being a beryllium compound, it belongs to beryl. The hardness on the Mohs scale is up to 8 out of 10, which is higher than most gems, but less than ruby, sapphire or diamond. Density - from 2.69 to 2.8 grams per cubic centimeter.

The color of emerald is almost always green, only the shades change.

Various impurities in a crystal can give it a reddish, black or bluish tint, but pure specimens of deep and rich tones are most valued.

Emeralds are never ideal, free from defects. This gives them individuality, but is also a problem when cutting - any careless movement can split a seemingly durable stone.

An artificially grown emerald does not have such problems, but it does not look as beautiful, and most importantly, it is devoid of healing and magical properties.

How to care for stone

Products with emerald
Emerald is durable and difficult to damage at home. However, it does not tolerate cosmetics, water, or household chemicals. Loves darkness and coolness. Pebbles and jewelry deserve proper care:

• When washing, cooking, or other household work, jewelry is removed;
• put on jewelry when makeup is applied: powder, eye shadow, blush are destructive to the gem;
• store jewelry in a casket or other durable closed box; Alternatively, wrap each item in a soft cloth.

Contaminated jewelry is soaked in warm soapy water. If necessary, rub lightly with a soft cloth or brush.

It is worth investing in a special protective layer - it is applied to items with emerald by jewelers.

Care Tips

Emerald is a strong, resistant stone, but still quite capricious, which corresponds to its status. Therefore, this nugget requires careful care:

• Smaragd does not tolerate household chemicals and cosmetics, so when doing household chores, it is better to remove the jewelry. You should put it on after applying and fixing makeup.
• The stone must be cleaned with warm soapy water and wiped with a soft cloth.
• It is better to store emerald jewelry in a cool place, in a closed container, after wrapping each piece of jewelry in a soft cloth.

To make emeralds pleasing to the eye longer, do not forget to contact the jeweler from time to time to restore the protective oil layer. Over time, it is wiped off, then the stone becomes more vulnerable.

Compatibility with other minerals

Being a mineral of the air element, emerald does not combine well with Water stones: opal, pearl, topaz, amethyst, heliotrope, alexandrite.

In jewelry, cut emerald is ideally combined with diamonds, as well as with stones of the same category, which includes: sapphire, peridot and ruby.

Agate makes an equally harmonious pair for it.

Combination with precious stones

Emerald is a fairly favorable stone; it demonstrates excellent compatibility with most other minerals. Forms an ideal combination with greenish, white, transparent gemstones (pearls, diamonds, lapis lazuli, etc.). Looks good with turquoise, sapphire and other blue and blue minerals.

Emerald is considered incompatible with ruby, amethyst, rose quartz, and coral.

From the point of view of astrologers and magicians, the mineral is classified as a Mercury stone. It is recommended to wear it as a pendant or ring. The greatest magical effect will come from wearing an item with a gem on the little finger of the active hand. Astrologers recommend combining emerald with minerals of Saturn (sapphire, blue topaz, lapis lazuli, tanzanite, turquoise, charoite, alexandrite, black onyx) and Venus (diamond, white opal, zircon).

On the body, this gem is not compatible with Mars stones (coral, agate, carnelian).

How to wear it correctly

It is necessary to wear emerald jewelry correctly, taking into account the properties of the stone:

• It is advisable to have a full set of jewelry - it is stylish. In such a situation, the stones have the opportunity to better influence the owner.
• If you want to have a stone in the form of a talisman, it is better to keep it untreated.
• Be sure to consider whether the mineral is suitable for your zodiac sign. Scorpios and Capricorns should not purchase such an amulet.
• Wear jewelry on the little finger, but since this nugget is a love amulet, it is allowed to be worn on the ring finger.

Meaning in ancient cultures

In ancient times, colored stones were often valued higher than diamonds: they looked more beautiful and were easier to process. Thus, the creator of the famous Taj Mahal, Shah Jahan, wore emeralds engraved with quotes from holy books.

The royal robes of the Mughals, the rulers of India, and the pharaohs of Egypt were decorated with green stones; the beautiful Cleopatra adored wearing them. The Egyptians called them the gift of Thoth, a symbol of eternal life and wisdom. The Phoenicians dedicated them to the goddess of fertility Astarte, who is considered the prototype of the Roman Venus. By the way, it is to her, Venus, or rather the planet of the same name, that the mineral is dedicated today.

But not only kings liked to wear green beryl jewelry. In astrology, the meaning of the emerald stone is wisdom, a look into the depths of the human soul, intuition, mystery. Therefore, he became a talisman of philosophers, sages, and magicians.
