Emerald: Green Variety of Beryl. Emeralds have long been prized for their intense green color. When emeralds are mined from the earth, almost all of them exhibit a "jardin"- a garden of inclusions - which distinguishes them as natural gemstones. Traditionally emeralds have had their appearance enhanced by immersion in clear oils or paraffin, which reduce the visibility of the jardin. Today, more sophisticated enhancements are also used. In addition to oils and waxes, clear resins and hardeners may be used to penetrate open fissures. Virtually all emeralds contain at least trace amounts of the oils used on the cutting wheel. Over time emeralds may dry out, requiring light re-oiling to enhance their beauty once again.

Special Care for Gemstone Jewelry
Most colored gemstones routinely undergo heating or other treatments to further enhance their natural beauty. These enhancements are generally permanent. However, extra care should be taken with all colored gemstone jewelry. If cared for properly, it can last a lifetime.
- Never expose any gemstone jewelry to salt water, chemicals, perfume or hairspray. These substances may slowly erode the finish and polish of the gems. Do not subject gemstone jewelry to sudden temperature changes.
- Opals, emeralds and tanzanite require extra precautions.
- Do not use commercial cleaning solutions, ultrasonic steam cleaners, cold or hot water to clean these gems. Use only a soft cloth and lukewarm water. Opals are especially sensitive to temperature variations, which can cause cracking. Remove your opal jewelry before washing dishes, handling frozen foods, or in very cold weather.
- Store your gemstone jewelry in cotton, tissue paper or in a jewelry box or pouch. Keep each piece separate as these gemstones are easily scratched by other pieces.
Special Care for Opaque Stone Jewelry
- Porous stones such as lapis, turquoise, coral, and malachite are sometimes treated to further enhance natural color or luster. Although this treatment is generally stable, it may be affected by contact with hairspray, perfume, or dry cleaning solution.
- Avoid exposure of these stones to any chemicals or detergents.
