What are Jardines in Emeralds?

Minimum Acceptable Clarity Levels in a Jyotish Emerald

Natural Colombian Emerald

The alluring emerald forms a distinct variety of gemstone by itself. A gem that makes it into the big three of the colored gemstones â€“ Ruby, Sapphire and emeralds, the emeralds are highly valued and prized. However, unlike its other counterparts, its value is determined most by the color and cut and clarity have a relatively lesser role to play.

The emerald gem is a result of quite a few elements coming together in its process of formation, which takes hundreds of millions of years, and therefore it occurs as a highly included gem naturally.

The inclusions within the emeralds are actually accepted as marks of being genuine. If one is getting a relatively inclusion free emerald at anything less than a prohibitive price point, it should be a red flag!

Inclusion free, naturally occurring flawless emeralds of significant size will be very few and whatever specimens are available will cost an arm and a leg!

These inclusions of emeralds are very different from the flaws and inclusions in diamonds. While diamond is pure carbon, emerald is a mix of more elements beryllium aluminium silicate to be precise! Its formation through a complex process with the interaction of several elements invariably leads to generation of a crystal that is included. Most of the emeralds will have three phase inclusions â€“ with fluid, gas as well as crystals within the emerald.

The most valued emeralds have a rich green color with ever so little hint of a bluish tint with good saturation, display the oil drop effect and are relatively inclusion free. The trade always looks the factors of absence or presence of treatment and color first while determining the value of an emerald.

What Exactly are Jardines?

The emerald dealers have romanticised the inclusions by calling them jardines- the French word for gardens! Jardines help establish the authenticity of the gem and also help in distinguishing the origin of the gem in a huge way.

What are the minimum clarity levels acceptable in jyotish quality emeralds?

Jyotish quality emeralds should have at least 80 per cent clarity levels. To know more about it, click here.

Comments	Gemstones are truly a miracle of nature. It is only when the love of these precious minerals goes beyond the simple desire of owning fine jewelry or gem that the real world of spectacular creation opens up.

Featured today is a natural Colombian emerald of 1.81 carats set in 22 karat gold as a Mercury talisman ring. The classic emerald cut Colombian emerald is fully natural and has a fine early summer grass green color. What really makes this gem stand apart is the fact that not only is there excellent clarity, despite being an emerald, the gem also has a vitreous lustre, giving it that charismatic appeal!

For planetary gem therapy, the gem must be jyotish quality. For a real appreciation of the jyotish gem that you are holding in your hand and especially more so if itâ€™s an emerald letâ€™s get a little more specific â€“ emerald is a gemstone of the beryl group â€“ Beryllium Aluminium Silicate Al2Be3 (SiO3)6, to be precise.

This gemstone crystal is formed either either in the pegmatite deposits or hydrothermal veins in metamorphic environments. Metamorphic rocks are those rocks, which were once igneous or sedimentary rocks but changed over period of time into a different state due to change in pressure and temperature. (The change however is to be so intense that the rock gets melted and the chemical rearrangement is affected. For instance, Marble is a metamorphic rock that you get when heat and pressure is applied to limestone over a period of thousands of years!)

For an emerald to form, the temperature has to be in the range of 400-500 degrees centigrade and the pressure has to be about 1-3 kilobars per square inch! In other words about 7.5 to 21.75 tons of pressure per square inch! The presence of trace element chromium gives it the rich green color. (in case of the Brazilian emeralds, the color causing trace element is vanadium).

Emerald rough

The mineral is formed within a fluid rich silicate melt that can remain liquid for a very long therefore the cooling time is very long â€“ almost 500 million years!

You may take your time to absorb that information. And we do hope that when you look at the emerald perched on your fingers the next time, you will think about what a treasure, whose life spans an era of geological time, you own!

Natural emerald/ panna is the gemstone of planet Mercury/ Budh and is used in a talisman to harness the energies of this planet.
