Treatments and Remedies through Emerald Gemstone

Emerald is one of the precious gemstones on Earth. The stone is adored by many for its exceptional beauty and alluring green color. A beautiful green hue with excellent saturation can be obtained when the gemstone undergoes some kind of treatment or enhancement. However, after mining, certified panna stone undergoes some treatments to enhance its physical properties like color, clarity, cut, durability, and transparency. Small cracks or tiny fractures of the gemstones are filled with numerous substances to provide a perfect finish. Read along to know the different types of treatments or enhancements used for treating Emerald Stone.

Different Types of Emerald Treatments

Emerald Oil Treatment : Oiling Emerald gemstones to fill internal fractures or cracks is a common practice. There are many different oils that are used for treating fractures in Emerald stone. The colorless Cedar Oil Emerald treatment is one of the most commonly used oil treatments. However, colored oils are also used in treated Emeralds. After being mined from various regions across the globe, the rough Emerald gemstone is put into a barrel of cedar oil. The oil is then allowed to enter into the fractures on the surface of the stone. This helps in reducing the visible fractures or cracks on the crystalline structure. The imperfection finally disappears when cedarwood oil is pressurized inside the stone. Also, Jorban is a green-colored oil that is commonly used in the Indian market to treat Emeralds. This oil is used to fill the fissures in the stone giving it a spellbound green color. Paraffin is another product usually used in Africa for treating Emeralds. It is normally used in the form of oil or wax.

Emerald Resin Treatment

Resin treatment is another commonly used treatment that can be done to bring lush-green hue with perfect tone and saturation. Many countries have started using Palm Resin for filling the cracks in the gemstone. However, the treated Emerald stone tends to give a milky white appearance just after a few months.

Opticon Filler Treatment

The gemstone can also be treated or filled with a plastic material called Opticon to increase its durability, color, and clarity. Such a method was first carried out in Brazilian Emeralds in the 1980s. The inclusions are filled with opticon which made the green color of Emerald more vivid and attractive. However, in due course of time, the gemstone may turn yellowish.

Gematrat Treatment

Gematrat, also known as Gemstone Branding, is a procedure to fill the cracks in Emerald gemstone. Gematrat is a way to permanently treat Emeralds which begins with the soft cleaning of the gemstone and may take weeks or months to fill the cracks. It prevents the gemstone from turning yellow and produces perfectly finished Emeralds.

Epoxy Treatment

The process refers to filling fractures and cracks in the gemstone using epoxies. It helps in enhancing the clarity, luster, and look of the stone. It is not used very frequently as compared to the Cedar Oil treatment.

Dye Treatment

Another frequently used treatment is dyed or stained treatment. In this process, the coloring matter is introduced into a gemstone for intensifying the existing color into a new lush-green hue and improving color uniformity.

Infused with Hardened Polymers

In this type of enhancement, the filling of surface-reaching fissures with colorless polymers is done to improve the Emerald clarity. It also includes the proprietary Excel Emerald treatment as well as other semi-permanent processes which allow for ease of care and normal cleaning without degrading the appearance of the Emerald stone and increases Emerald protection. It is the latest generation of treatment technology that brings out the natural beauty of the Emerald while minimizing care concerns.
