About Emerald Earrings

May birthstone is the Emerald.

Emerald is another precious gemstone loved by many around the world. Some of the most beautiful Emerald comes from Columbia.  May's green emerald is a symbol of rebirth, renewed youth and good fortune. Emeralds are believed to cure you of bad health, healing a variety of illnesses and insuring good health for the wearer. Also, it was believed that the wearer of emerald could see into the future.

The Emerald is given on the 20th and 35th Wedding Anniversary as a gift.

Gota de Aceite emeralds are a treasure to behold. They are equally as coveted as Golconda diamonds or Kashmir sapphires.

The Gota de Aceite [drop of oil] emerald, pronounced go-tah day ah-say-tay, is unique to Columbia. Its unusual structure causes the gem to have a velvety look to the naked eye. The phenomenon is sometimes referred to as the "butterfly effect", which is caused by calcite precipitation.

In order to qualify as a true Gota de Aceite emerald, it must have calcite precipitation. An emerald with simply a velvety look cannot qualify and thus should not be referred to as such. The butterfly effect can be seen under 10X or higher magnification. The look of the structure can be otherwise described as "roiling hot air" or "whiskey in water". It has a distinctively different look than the typical jardin' seen in most emeralds.  

I have heard, Gota de Aceite emeralds sometimes slip by suppliers and get distributed in the marketplace. The novice often mistakes them for synthetic or even glass. Careful! Don’t act hasty; top color Gota de Aceite emeralds can be priced at $12,000 to 28,000 per carat! With so much at stake, a gemologist should assist in making an accurate identification.

So BOLOF (be on the lookout for) Gota de Aceite emeralds...you never know what may be lurking in the parcel right under your nose! 

Emerald is a variety of the mineral beryl, coloured green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Columbia has been the most important source of finest-grade emeralds.

It is a highly sought-after precious gem, the most famous and favoured green stone, which for centuries has been widely used in the creation and encrustation of jewelry and everyday items. Its combination of colour, durability, and rarity makes it one of the most valuable gemstones.

Emerald is the birthstone for May. Emerlds green colour is symbolic for re birth, and for energized renewed youth and believed to bring good health to the wearer

Emeralds have one of the longest histories of all gemstones, dating back to the time of Cleopatra and ancient Egyptian pharaohs. Ancient mining tools dating back 1500 BC have been discovered at the entrance of emerald mines. Emeralds have set the standard for the ultimate colour in green gemstones.

Emeralds\' chemical composition number is Si03 and its hardness ratio is 6-8. When purchasing an emerald, colour is the most important factor. An optimum choice is a consistent rich, luminescent velvety-green colour throughout the stone.
