Like all other gemstones, emeralds have inclusions. The most common of these is jardin, which makes the inside surface look like a garden. Jardin, in French, means “garden.” Jardin in emerald stone isn’t just one type of inclusion; there are more to add. In this blog, we will study the other imperfections and how they affect the value and appearance of the stone.
