A market-wide average across qualities and sizes. Your stone's value depends on carat, color, clarity, cut, treatment, and origin.
Emeralds are renowned for their vibrant green color, which can range from light to deep shades, often influenced by the presence of chromium and vanadium. They are relatively soft compared to other gemstones, with a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, and are commonly cut into oval, pear, or emerald shapes to enhance their color and brilliance.
