Emerald Crystals Grade A Stones
Although these emerald crystals are grade A, material used for tumbling would never be regarded as a true emerald. Only the very finest gem-grade green beryl is officially classified as emerald.
One of the four original 'precious' gemstones, emerald is the green variety of the mineral beryl.
To be classified as emerald, stones must go through rigorous testing. The richness of colour, saturation, tone, and clarity must all reach a set standard before green beryl can officially be classed as emerald.
That said, to prevent confusion in the wider retail market, all green beryl, irrespective of grade, tends to be known as emerald.
Emeralds are rarely found without inclusions or surface-reaching fissures. These long, narrow breakages are caused by splitting or cracking during the crystal's formation.
In ancient Rome, emeralds were associated with reproduction and were dedicated to Venus, the goddess of love, beauty, desire, and sex. To the early Christians, it represented the resurrection.
Today, when used as a healing crystal, emerald is considered to be a stone of successful love that brings domestic bliss and instils sensitivity and loyalty within one's self as well as others.
Our grade A emerald crystals are a medium-sized tumbled stone. As with all tumbled stones, size can vary from piece to piece.
