The most precious stone in the beryl group is the emerald. The word comes from a Greek word meaning green stone! The emerald is the birthstone fror May and the stone commemorating the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries. The color comes from small amounts of chromium and traces of iron in the crystal. The emerald is more beautiful in the daylight.

Emeralds are found in Columbia, Brazil, South Africa, Russia, and in North Carolina in the United States.
One of the largest emeralds weighed 217.80 carats and was inscribed with prayer text on one side and with floral ornaments on the other. It sold for $2.2 million in 2001.
