Ref: Emerald

Much prized and often more valuable than Diamonds of the same size, owing to the rarity, of this Beryl gem, in a good clear green quality. It is the Birthstone for May and is usually cut as an octagon (called an Emerald-Cut), to reduce the likelihood of damage to such a brittle stone.
These stones are not of a high grade and will vary in depth but they represent good value for money and are generally of a medium to dark green cloudy appearance making them suitable for replacement of missing stones in older jewellery.
Please contact us if better stones are required.
