To purify and energize the natural emerald, soak it in a mixture of raw milk and Gangajal for 20–30 minutes. Afterward, gently wipe the Emerald (Markat) stone with a clean cloth.

How to Clean and Care for Your Emerald Stone

Emeralds are delicate gemstones that require careful handling to maintain their vibrant green beauty. This concise guide outlines how to clean and care for your Gemstones, specifically emeralds, and offers key buyer beware tips.

Caring for Your Emerald

Emeralds (7.5–8 on Mohs scale) are prone to chipping due to natural inclusions. Protect them with these tips:

• Avoid Chemicals: Remove emerald jewelry before using cleaners, swimming, or handling acidic substances.
• Store Safely: Keep emeralds in a soft, lined box or pouch, separate from other jewelry.
• Limit Heat/Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can dry out oils, causing cracks. Avoid hot environments.
• Handle Gently: Remove during sports, gardening, or heavy tasks to prevent impact.
• Inspect Regularly: Have a jeweler check settings every 6–12 months.

Cleaning Your Emerald

Gently clean emeralds by soaking in warm water with mild, phosphate-free soap for 5 minutes, scrubbing with a soft toothbrush or microfiber cloth, rinsing under lukewarm water, and patting dry with a lint-free cloth, while avoiding ultrasonic or steam cleaners to prevent damage.

What to Know Before Purchasing an Emerald

Emeralds are valuable investments, but buyers must be cautious to avoid pitfalls. Here are key considerations:

• Understand Treatments: Most emeralds are treated with oils or resins to enhance clarity and fill surface-reaching fractures. These treatments are standard but may wear off over time, requiring re-oiling by a professional. Ask sellers about the type and extent of treatments, as untreated emeralds are rare and significantly more expensive.
• Check for Synthetics or Imitations: Lab-created emeralds or green glass can be mistaken for natural emeralds. Always request a gemological certificate from a reputable lab (e.g., GIA or AGS) to verify authenticity. Be wary of deals that seem too good to be true.
• Examine Clarity and Color: High-quality emeralds have a vivid green color with even saturation. Be cautious of stones that appear too perfect, as emeralds typically have visible inclusions. Overly clear stones may be synthetic or heavily treated.
• Inspect the Setting: Ensure the jewelry setting protects the emerald’s edges, as they are prone to chipping. Prong or bezel settings are ideal for durability.
• Buy from Reputable Sellers: Purchase from trusted jewelers or retailers with clear return policies and transparent disclosures about the stone’s origin and treatments. Avoid unverified online marketplaces or sellers who cannot provide documentation.
• Beware of Overheating Risks: Some emeralds may have been subjected to improper heat treatments, which can weaken the stone. Ask about the stone’s treatment history to avoid purchasing a compromised gem.
