Regarding Photographing Emeralds
Of all the gemstones in the mineral kingdom, emeralds are known as being among the most notoriously difficult gemstones to photograph. Accurately capturing and representing the unique emerald green is most elusive and unfortunately it currently eludes me. Personally I think it is something to do with the presence of chromium and vanadium and how that influences light within the stone that makes it so hard for cameras to process, or in some way confuses the camera and how it processes colour and light. It is very rare to see emeralds photographed well. All I can say is that I try my best but please remember that the pictures are only a representation of the intense and verdant green that only emeralds have. This is why it is so important to view these emeralds in the hand to truly appreciate just how incredible they are. In the hand this gem is as green as emeralds are.
