Bringing more transparency to every step in the gemstone industry's value chain by using a digital ledger based on blockchain technology will enable the operations along a gemstone's value chain to be securely recorded, stored, and shared. Traceability Report Report Blockchain participants Provenance Proof How does it work? Whenever a transaction occurs, it is validated within the ecosystem of the so-called blockchain. Once verified, a transaction is recorded as a digital block, containing the key of the previous entry, a timestamp, and the transaction data, all secured through cryptography. Any further transaction is secured in the same way by creating a new block with a new key which then is linked to the previous block. This creates a chain of individual transactions that can be traced back to the original. These blocks become part of a digital ledger, which is continuously distributed to all participants.

Discover the Emerald natural gemstone colour description, provenance and science behind. EMERALD Emerald is a gemstone variety of the mineral beryl, with a vivid green colour caused by the presence of chromium and sometimes vanadium. It is a popular gemstone and is often used in jewelry, particularly in engagement rings. Emeralds are also the traditional birthstone for the month of May. Heritage Emeralds have been prized throughout history, with ancient civilizations such as the Incas, Aztecs, and Egyptians all valuing the gemstone. The Egyptians believed that the green colour represented fertility and rebirth, and Cleopatra was known to have a great love for emeralds. In medieval Europe, emeralds were thought to have healing powers and were used to treat various ailments. Physical Properties Emeralds have a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, making them quite durable. They have a specific gravity of 2.7 to 2.8 and a refractive index of 1.57 to 1.58. They also have a vitreous to greasy luster and are typically transparent to translucent. Colour Emeralds are known for their intense green colour, which can range from a bluish-green to a yellowish-green. The colour is caused by the presence of chromium and sometimes vanadium in the crystal structure of the beryl mineral. The most valuable emeralds are those with a vivid to deep, rich green colour that is evenly distributed throughout the gemstone. Treatments Emeralds are almost always treated with oils or resins to improve their clarity and to fill any surface-reaching fractures or cavities, which is a common occurrence in natural emeralds. The use of oils and resins is considered an accepted industry practice, but it is important to be disclosed. Heat treatment and dyed is extremely rarely used to enhance the colour of low-quality emeralds, but this practice is possible. Geographic Origin The most famous emeralds come from Colombia, where they have been mined for millenia. Other significant sources of emeralds include Brazil, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Madagascar, and Russia. Synthetic Synthetic Emeralds are man-made emerald that are produced in a laboratory setting using advanced technological processes. It can be produced synthetically through a process known as flux growth or hydrothermal synthesis. These synthetic emeralds have the same physical and chemical properties as natural emeralds. Others Emeralds are primarily used in jewelry, particularly in engagement rings and other high-end pieces. They are also used in decorative objects and as a symbol of wealth and luxury. In addition to their use in jewelry, emeralds have also been used for their supposed healing properties and are believed to promote good health, well-being, and success. Back to the Gem Encyclopedia
