Emerald Crystals Grade-A Tumbled Stones
Although these crystals are marketed as grade-A emerald tumbled stones, they should technically be called green beryl.
Emerald, one of the four original 'precious' gemstones, is the green variety of the mineral beryl.
For green beryl to be classified as emerald, it must undergo rigorous testing. Factors such as colour richness, saturation, tone, and clarity must meet strict standards before a stone can officially be designated as emerald.
However, to avoid confusion in the broader retail market, all green beryl, regardless of grade, tends to be called 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, the emerald represented the resurrection.
These striking emerald crystals are a medium-sized tumbled stone, but size can vary from piece to piece.
