Emerald is renowned for its profound metaphysical properties, believed to resonate deeply with the heart.

Sourcing Insights
* Color: Genuine raw Emerald should have a natural, deep to vivid green color. Be cautious of pieces that are unnaturally bright, fluorescent, or have a perfectly uniform color without any variation, as these might be dyed or synthetic.
* Inclusions (Jardin): Emeralds are famous for their natural inclusions, often called "jardin" (French for garden). These are internal characteristics like tiny fractures, gas bubbles, or mineral crystals. A completely "flawless" raw emerald is extremely rare and should be viewed with skepticism, as it might indicate a synthetic stone or heavy treatment.
