Emerald symbolism encompasses not only royalty but also wit, eloquence, and foresight. The Jewel of Kings also serves as the May birthstone. Whatever its supposed mystical properties, this gem has long been regarded as a superior jewel. Hardness and toughness Gem and mineral hardness is measured on the Mohs scale. The numbers are based on the relative ease or difficulty with which one mineral can be scratched by another. But the Mohs scale is deceptive. The steps between the minerals are not evenly spaced. For example, diamond is only one number away, but it’s many times harder than gems in the corundum family. Emerald is 7. 5 to 8 on the Mohs scale and has fair to good toughness, making it a stone that requires more care in wearing than ruby or sapphire. Even so, emeralds are beautiful stones for all types of jewellery and with proper care will last for generations. Cleaning Some estimates state that 90 percent or more of emeralds are fracture-filled. Since the great majority of fashioned natural emeralds contain filled fractures, it’s risky to clean them ultrasonically or with steam. Ultrasonic vibrations can weaken already-fractured stones, and hot steam can cause oil or unhardened resin to sweat out of fractures. Using warm, soapy water coupled with gentle scrubbing is the safest way to clean emeralds. What is 14K Gold? 14 karat gold is produced from 58. 3 per cent pure gold and a 41. 7 per cent mixture of other metals like copper, zinc, silver and nickel. With only 14 parts of gold out of 24, it's usually less expensive than other higher karats of gold.
