Emeralds are among the rarest and most sought after gems on Earth. Emerald Quartz lets you embrace the vibrant green beauty of an emerald for a fraction of the price.
Emerald Quartz is a trade name for quartz samples pulled larger deposit of the mineral mariposite, a chromium-rich variety of mica. This quartz variety is a rare, glassy to milky type of microcrystalline quartz valued for its green palette. It is peppered with glossy microscopic inclusions, giving it a shimmering appearance. Its emerald-like green coloring is caused by chromium within the stone, the same mineral that gives emeralds their regal hue. Emerald Quartz may appear in smooth green to vivid green, with preferred coloring being emerald. Mariposite was named for Mariposa, California, where the mineral was first discovered. It is a marbled stone containing varying amounts of dolomite and quartz. Quartz makes up close to 12 percent of the earth's crust and occurs in a variety of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. The name quartz and comes from the Saxon word "querklufterz," meaning ore.
