Gems : Emerald

Emerald is the grass green variety of beryl. The most desirable emeralds are generally those with an intense grassy green colour, plenty of sparkle and life, and free of any inclusions (flaws). Some experts say a dark velvety green is the most valuable, but what’s "best" is ultimately subjective. Buy the stone you like, using your own judgment, rather than allowing yourself to be a slave to fashion, or buying what you think will impress other people.
