A large emerald with a rich green color and clear transparency is very rare. Sometimes, these rare emeralds, inclusions and all, are more valuable than the best of diamonds. Also, a gem with a rich green color and many inclusions, has more value than a paler stone with less inclusions. In fact, the inclusions, known as the gardening effect, is what helps identify a genuine natural emerald from a fake one. Due to the many inclusions and cracks found in the emerald, it is a very difficult to cut.
