Emerald

Emerald is a brilliant green variety of beryl. It cleaves along straight orthogonal lines and is often cut rectangular with beveled edges. Emeralds were often associated with health, and so were used in creating and decorating magical devices which improved health and healing. A typical specimen had a base value of 5000 gp. Emeralds with weak or tainted coloring were classified as gem stones with base value of 1000 gp.
