Emerald is recognized as the king of green gems. For many years, Colombia has been the largest emerald producers. Unlike other gems, emeralds contain numerous minerals thus called the 'Jardin' by gemologists. In order to enhance the transparency, coloured oil or non-coloured oil is used on emerald. Only the finest emerald could be named as 'no oil'. It is hard to find emerald in sizes over 20 carats.
