What is Lab Created Emerald

The lab created emerald are made by the hydrothermal process that is why some people also call it hydrothermal emerald.  This process uses a water solution at high temperatures and it takes many months to create a top grade synthetic emerald rough. We then use specialist engineers to cut these stones from the roughs to get the best grade lab created emeralds. The synthetic emeralds you find here will have the same chemical composition as the real emeralds.

Color: Colombia & Zambia Green

Chemical Composition: BeAlSiO (BerylliumAluminiumSilicate). Similar to natural Emerald.

Specific Gravity: 2.66-2.69

Refractive Index: 1.561-1.571

Hardness: 7-7.5

Formation: Hydrothermal or Flux-fusion lab process. The technique usually involves dissolving the crystal nutrients in an acidic solution of water and chemicals at high temperatures and pressures, with crystallization occurring in a cooler chamber in the reactor.

All sizes and shapes are available.
