Green has long been associated with renewal, vitality, and growth. The gem world offers an extraordinary range of green stones, each with its own character.
- Emerald: the ultimate green gemstone, celebrated for its green color and garden-like inclusions, known as “jardin” in the trade, that make each stone uniquely alive.
- Jade: translucent to opaque gems known for their toughness including nephrite and jadeite. Its most sought after color is its green variety, but can also occur in white, lavender and more.
- Tsavorite Garnet: a green variety of grossular garnet prized for its pure, vivid green,. Typically found in smaller sizes with outstanding brilliance.
- Peridot: one of the few gems that occurs in only one color. Formed deep within the Earth and sometimes delivered by meteorites, it has a distinctive lime-to-olive hue.
- Demantoid Garnet: a bright green variety of andradite garnet, known for displaying more fire than diamond.
- Tourmaline: includes vibrant green chrome tourmaline and dark green verdelite colored by iron. Fine chrome tourmaline can rival more famous green gems in color.
Whether luminous, bright, or displaying striking fire, green gemstones prove there is no single way for this color to shine, making it a sophisticated choice for the season and beyond.
