A chromium-tinged variety of beryl — the gemstone mined from the Cleopatra-era Mons Smaragdus in Egypt, the Muzo deposits of Colombia, and the Sandawana mines of Zimbabwe. Emerald green refers to a high-clarity faceted emerald with strong color saturation: a saturated, slightly blue-shifted green with the gem's signature internal life. Cooler than fern, warmer than teal, with the heraldic weight of two thousand years of royal favor.
