Gemmological point: emerald has natural inclusions called “gardens”. Emerald is, most of the time, filled with small frosts composed of water, this is due to its hydrothermal origin (water-based) in veins rich in chromium (giving it its color) and beryllium (giving it its color). giving its structure). It is therefore quite common to find these inclusions in this particular gem.
