Description


Hydrothermal emeralds, also known as synthetic emeralds or lab-grown emeralds, are created using a process that mimics the conditions under which natural emeralds form in the Earth’s crust.

  • Formation: Natural emeralds form deep within the Earth’s crust under specific conditions involving high pressure and relatively low temperature, typically in hydrothermal veins where hot water carries dissolved minerals.
  • Synthetic Replication: In a laboratory setting, scientists recreate these conditions by dissolving specific ingredients (including beryllium, aluminum, and chromium) in a water-based solution at high pressure and moderate temperature. This solution is then allowed to crystallize over time, forming synthetic emerald crystals.
  • Appearance: Hydrothermal emeralds are optically and chemically similar to natural emeralds. They exhibit the characteristic green color due to the presence of chromium or vanadium.
  • Clarity: They can have excellent clarity because they grow in a controlled environment without the natural inclusions and flaws often found in mined emeralds.
  • Durability: Similar to natural emeralds, they are relatively hard (7.5-8 on the Mohs scale) but may be slightly less durable due to potential differences in crystal structure and internal stress.
