Does the color of the emerald depend on the deposit?

Everyone knows that the green color of an emerald is associated with an admixture of chromium in it. But this green color in stones from one or another deposit has different shades. Let's figure out why.
It's all about additional impurities, the composition and quantity of which directly depends on the type of emerald deposit. So, in addition to chromium color centers in emeralds, there can also be centers of ferrous iron in different coordination, sometimes vanadium and titanium, as well as hole centers O-.
Colombian emeralds are characterized by an almost pure green color, sometimes with a slight blue tint caused by pleochroism. The purity of the color is due to the fact that chromium in such stones is practically the only chromophore due to minimal concentrations or the complete absence of iron impurities.
Ural emeralds have a higher concentration of Fe2 + in tetrahedral coordination, which is the reason for the "warmer" tint of stones from this deposit.
Emeralds from Zambia are characterized by a high concentration of ferrous iron in octahedral coordination and have a blue-green color associated with this color center.
We should also highlight emeralds, colored green thanks to vanadium centers. They are sometimes called "chromeless". This type of stone is found among Colombian emeralds, and this type of color is created when emeralds are synthesized by flux and hydrothermal methods.

Но помимо редкости цвета и высокой стоимости таких камней, многие розовые камни выделяются одной замечательной особенностью – они проявляют плеохроизм, то есть в зависимости от положения осмотра камня он может иметь дополнительные оттенки – оранжевый или пурпурный.

Currently, gemstones are produced by two fundamentally different technological methods - the High Pressure - High Temperature method (“HPHT”, High-pressure & High-temperature) and the Chemical Vapor Deposition (“CVD”, Chemical vapor deposition) method. The "HPHT" method is the most tested classical synthesis method, which can be used both carbon deposition on diamond from flux melts and catalytic reactions. In "CVD" synthesis, diamond growth occurs on a seed during carbon deposition mainly from a gaseous medium at relatively low temperatures and pressures.

Jewelry and precious stones are just such a category of goods, when buying which you need to pay attention to many criteria.

Sogdianite is a rather rare mineral and more often it can be found as a collection material (moreover, in systematic collections), and it is extremely rare in jewelry.
