I am interested in purchasing a loose, rough emerald stone. Is an “Emerald Crystal” a genuine emerald?
I know nothing about gemstones, but Im attracted to the emerald and Id like to have a loose rough stone, but when looking at them online, Im finding stones like “Green EMERALD Terminated Crystal-Chivor ” and other types of names, which makes me somewhat sceptical about buying because I dont want to spend alot of money on something that is not 100% genuine emerald. Any help on what to look for, and where I could look to find genuine emerald loose uncut stones would be greatly appreciated. Emerald is actually the birthstone of Taurus, and Id like to get one for my girl..
Thanks for any help you can give…
Best Regards,
Steve
I would be suspicious of something labeled as an “Emerald crystal”. This is probably a man-made substance (like cubic zirconium which looks like diamond) that gives the appearance of an emerald, but is something quite different. They cannot call it an “emerald” as that would be false and deceptive advertising, so they call it an emerald CRYSTAL to differentiate it from a true emerald.
There are places (like Ebay) that sell “tailings” from emerald mines in which you purchase a bag of rough emeralds still encased in the original stone matrix.
These are considered to be non-economical to process by the owners of the mines, so they sell them to interested parties.
I bought some ruby tailings and put them in my rock polisher, and I have some small pieces that may actually be gem quality. I’ll find out as soon as I can find an appraiser.
I also bought some emerald tailings, but the inclusions were cloudy, and I would have to have them cut open to see if they were of gemstone quality. But then again, if this is the kind of “rough stone” you’re looking for, it might fit what you are looking for.
That is probably the best source for rough emeralds for we common people.
I wish I could give you better info, but I hope this helps.
