Emerald is a gemstone in the beryl group (Beryllium aluminium silicate). Although emeralds can be colourless, when used as a gem it is usually coloured green because of small quantities of chromium (or sometimes vanadium). It has dihexagonal dipyramidal crystals. Emerald has a Mohs scale hardness of 7.5 to 8.
