Green is one of the most loved colours in fine jewelry, and the family of green gemstones is wider than most people expect. From the deep, saturated glow of emerald to the soft mint of prehnite and the lively fire of demantoid garnet, green stones come in every shade, hardness and price level.<\/p>

This guide is a complete list of green gemstones<\/b><\/strong>: more than 40 stones, each with its typical shade, Mohs hardness, rarity, relative price tier and the jewelry it suits best. You will also find a master comparison table, a shade guide, explainers on treatments and lab-grown stones, a care cheat sheet and a manufacturer\u2019s view on which green stones perform best on the bench and on the hand.<\/p>

Most green gems get their colour from a handful of trace elements. Chromium and vanadium produce the vivid greens of emerald, tsavorite, chrome tourmaline and chrome diopside. Iron gives peridot, green sapphire and many olive tones. Copper creates the greens of malachite and turquoise, and nickel colours chrysoprase and gaspeite. In diamonds, green can come from natural radiation exposure.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
