Emerald belongs to the beryl group of gemstones and is one of the four precious gemstones in the world, which includes sapphire, ruby, and diamond. The name emerald comes from the French word 'esmeralde', meaning 'green stone'. The green color comes from chromium and vanadium deposits. Most natural emeralds will have various color shades and inclusions. Even though emeralds have been found in many places round the world, Columbia, Brazil, and Zambia have the largest sources. Many emeralds are immersed in oil to enhance their color, often using cedar oil. This is usually done at the mine where the stone is sourced.
