About Natural Emerald

Natural Emerald, traditionally known as Panna, is one of the most valued varieties of the beryl mineral family. It is recognized for its beautiful green color, which can range from light green to rich vivid green.

Natural Emeralds commonly contain internal inclusions known as "jardin", a French term meaning garden, referring to the characteristic internal features often seen in emeralds. These natural inclusions are part of the gemstone's individual character.
