Trivia[]

  • Emerald has a Mohs hardness of 7.5-8.
  • Emerald is one color of the mineral beryl. The green color comes from small amounts of impurities such as chromium and vanadium in the crystal structure.
  • When the elf Glorfindel cleared the Nazgûl off the Last Bridge, he left a beryl as a sign that the Fellowship could safely pass.
  • The Elessar worn by Aragorn had a green gem upon it. However, it was not an emerald, but appears to have been a unique gem forged by the Noldor.
