When we look at it closely, we are caught under its spell and, if we look even deeper, we "end up entangled in its garden". What do we mean by this? To that set of inclusions that criss-cross the interior of this beautiful gemstone; a network or circuit of arteries that connect every space and corner of the emerald. What we could call "spots or BEAUTY BRANDS" are precisely the main identifying and authentic feature of an emerald, making it unique and special above all others.

But what exactly is an inclusion? They are particles of solids, liquids or even gases that are lodged inside during their formation. If we can see them more easily, it means that the clarity of the emerald is good and is one of its main attractions. Transparency always wins out over turbidity and is a symbol of excellence. If, in addition, there are no inclusions... we are talking about a precious treasure of the highest value.
