It is always a soothing treat for the eyes – the emerald. This lovely green stone with its generous gift of a soft green color, serenades the senses gently, instead of invading the mind space with a loud presence.Here’s an oval, 2.29 carat fully natural Colombian emerald set in gold. Note the amazing clarity and good color. The jardin or the natural inclusions are visible validating the ‘natural’ and untreated element of the gem.
The emerald is best used to harness the saatvik energies of the planet Mercury or Budha.
Emeralds are characterised by natural inclusions (or jardin as the French termed this feature) which look like natural foliage. Emerald is a fairly brittle gem and is graded 3 on the Moh’s Scale. This is mainly due to the fluid inclusions that invariably occur during the process of formation.
A natural and untreated emerald free of jardin would cost many times more vis-Ã -vis a rich diamond too, as it is an absolute rarity! The jardin gives you an indication of figuring whether your emerald has been treated. It would be too good to be true!
Take a look at the MacKay Muzo Colombian emerald necklace, designed by Cartier in Platinum, now housed at the Smithsonian Institute, USA. This massive 167.97 carat emerald has excellent grass green color, jardin visible aplenty, and a gigantic size that make it a treasure in itself!
