Emeralds are famous for their vibrant green color, which has made them one of the most sought-after gemstones throughout history. One interesting fact about emeralds is that they are often more heavily included than any other gemstone, and these inclusions are sometimes referred to as “jardin,” which is French for garden, due to their mossy or garden-like appearance. These inclusions are not always looked at as flaws but can actually be considered part of the gem’s character, distinguishing genuine emeralds from synthetics and imitations. The presence of inclusions in emeralds is so common that finding an emerald without them is extremely rare, and such stones are often incredibly valuable.
