Exquisite and symbolic, emerald stone is the perfect expression of love, prosperity, and new beginnings. Renowned worldwide for its lush green, it is a member of the beryl mineral family. It is a precious gemstone used in high-end jewelry.
Whether you are looking for a centerpiece for your unique engagement ring or a jewelry piece that reflects your personality, emeralds are for you. At Navratan, we have a vast collection of these green gemstones sourced from notable regions like Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia.
Formation
Emeralds don’t just appear overnight—they take millions of years to form deep underground. It all starts when rare elements like beryllium meet with rocks rich in chromium or vanadium, usually during major geological shifts like the movement of tectonic plates.
When the heat and pressure build, these elements mix in the cracks and pockets of rocks such as schist or granite. Over time, as the earth’s surface cools, emerald crystals slowly begin to grow. Their vivid green color comes from chromium and vanadium. Because this combination is so rare, emeralds are truly a natural wonder.
