Emerald, a green beryl variety. Green from trace chromium and vanadium, typically with characteristic inclusions called jardin.

Where does it come from?

This batch is from Midlands Province, Zimbabwe.

Grade AA, green. Each piece 1-2 inches.

What is it traditionally used for?

Emerald is often associated with heart-center practice and self-love or relationship intention work. Traditionally associated with the heart chakra.

How should I care for it?

Wipe with a soft dry cloth. Mohs 7.5 to 8 but the inclusions make it slightly brittle; avoid hard knocks.

What does a crystal grade (A, AA, or AAA) actually mean?

Crystal grades reflect visual quality within a single batch. Grade A is standard quality with typical inclusions. Grade AA shows stronger color saturation, cleaner surface, and tighter sizing. Grade AAA represents the top 10 to 15 percent of any batch: exceptional clarity, consistent color, and minimal surface variation. At Beyond Bohemian, grades are assessed by Paul Oliver at point of purchase.

Will I receive the exact piece shown, or one chosen from your stock?

For bulk listings sold by weight or piece count, you receive pieces from the same batch shown in the photos. Each piece is hand-selected at the time of packing. For unique specimens listed individually, you receive the exact piece photographed. The listing will specify which applies.

Emerald is green beryl, and rough emerald doesn't always look like the jewelry store version. Our pieces are natural, unpolished or lightly shaped, showing the crystal form and the internal inclusions that come with the stone.

Sourced directly from Midlands Province, Zimbabwe. Worth knowing: a lot of the emerald on the market is stabilized. What we carry is natural and untreated.

Emerald is traditionally a stone for opening to connection, with yourself and others, openness to what comes your way, and gentle, patient care for yourself. It's traditionally linked to the heart chakra. If that resonates, hold one over your chest for a few breaths when you need to soften. Let it become part of your own quiet routine.

These are traditional associations drawn from historical practice. This stone is not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
