{"id":10260,"count":2,"description":"Emerald is a variety of the mineral beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a hardness of 7.5\u20138 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.\nThe word \"Emerald\" is derived (via Old French: Esmeraude and Middle English: Emeraude), from Vulgar Latin: Esmaralda\/Esmaraldus, a variant of Latin Smaragdus, which originated in Greek: \u03c3\u03bc\u03ac\u03c1\u03b1\u03b3\u03b4\u03bf\u03c2 (smaragdos; \"green gem\"); its original source being either the Hebrew word \u05d0\u05d6\u05de\u05e8\u05d2\u05d3 izmargad meaning \"emerald\" or \"green\" or the Sanskrit word \u092e\u0930\u0915\u0924 marakata meaning \"emerald.\" The name could also be related to the Semitic word baraq (\u05d1\u05b8\u05bc\u05e8\u05b8\u05e7\u00a0;\u0627\u0644\u0628\u064f\u0631\u0627\u0642; \"lightning\" or \"shine\") (cf. Hebrew: \u05d1\u05e8\u05e7\u05ea bareqeth and Arabic: \u0628\u0631\u0642 barq \"lightning\").
