Emerald is a bright green variety of the mineral beryl. It is one of the most valuable gemstones, along with diamond, ruby, and sapphire, and is often more expensive than the other three. Most emerald crystals found have inclusions that reduce their value. The color of the emerald is determined by impurities of chromium and iron (also vanadium). The hardness of emerald is 7.5, but inclusions can lower it. Emeralds come in all shades of green and blue-green. Higher-quality emeralds are clear, but stones that are not completely clear are also valuable. The vast majority of emerald crystals have so many inclusions that they are not even transparent. In Colombia, the country where the highest-quality emeralds are found, a rare variety of emerald is also found - star emeralds. It has a characteristic six-rayed reflection, created by inclusions of carbon hairs oriented in a certain way. To enhance the appearance of the emerald, it is kept in vegetable oil, which slowly fills the microcracks in the stone. The world's largest emerald weighs 16,300 carats and is located in Istanbul.
