Emerald is the most precious stone in the Beryl group. The name comes from the old French word 'Esmeralde', which was derived from the Greek word 'Smaragdos' meaning 'Green stone'. The Emerald is considered as one of the most 'precious four' of all Gemstones, which also includes Sapphire, Ruby and Diamond. The largest Emerald deposits are currently in Colombia, Brazil, and Zambia however they are also mined throughout the world in countries such as Pakistan, Afghanistan, Russia, Australia, United States. Each country is thought to reveal different qualities of the Emerald Gemstone.
