Color: Slightly bluish
or yellowish green. Deeper green is more powerful but do not
sacrifice clarity for color.
Clarity: Emeralds are
the most heavily flawed Jyotish gemstone. Emeralds are
designated type three in clarity, the only Jyotish gemstone in
this class. Chromium, the mineral that makes emeralds green also
makes them flawed.
Therefore, it is
very, very difficult to find nearly eye flawless emeralds, but
these are the best for Jyotish. The rule is clarity first, then
as much color as your budget will allow. Emeralds with top
clarity and light color are far better than those with more
inclusions and darker color. Clarity first and foremost! Buy the
clearest emeralds possible. Called ‘crystal’ in the trade, super
clean emeralds from Colombia and Brazil are acceptable, as are
some Zambian emeralds, if not too dark in the crystal.
Size: 2.00 carats and
larger. If exceptional in color and clarity, then smaller is OK:
Minimum 1.00 carat.
Shape: Emerald cut,
oval, cushion, round.
Enhancements: All
emeralds are “oiled” with oil or synthetic resins. Look for the
clearest clarity and buy from someone you can trust.
Beware: Avoid heavily
treated emeralds. Some experts can determine the level of the
treatment as minor, moderate or heavy. Minor treatment is OK. Be
very careful of hidden cracks that can affect the durability of
the emerald during setting, and after while wearing, especially
in the corners. Do not buy Emeralds with black inclusions.
