Emerald is a gemstone, and a variety of the mineral beryl colored green by
trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a hardness of 7.5-8
on the 10-point Mohs scale of mineral hardness. Most emeralds are highly
included, so their toughness (resistance to breakage) is classified as
generally poor.
