Mineral green beryl or emerald 003

Mineral green beryl or emerald - Cristalljoia Barcelona - 40 years of minerals

Emerald, a variety of green beryl, is one of the most precious and valuable gemstones in the world. Its intense green color is due to the presence of trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Throughout history, emerald has been a symbol of wealth and power, highly valued by various cultures.

Emeralds have been extracted since ancient times in regions such as Egypt, where Cleopatra was known for her fascination with these gems.

Cleopatra's emerald mines, located in the Sikait-Zabara region, were one of the earliest known sources of emeralds. Today, the highest quality emeralds come from Colombia, specifically from the Muzo, Chivor, and Coscuez mines.

Emerald has been used in famous jewelry pieces, including those belonging to royalty and celebrities. For example, Elizabeth Taylor owned a famous collection of emerald jewelry given to her by Richard Burton, which included an emerald and diamond ring from Bulgari.
