This crystal weighed 3.22 g (16.10 ct) and had a prismatic hexagonal crystal shape. Standard gemological examination confirmed the gemstone to be emerald, and ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared (UV-Vis-NIR) spectroscopy showed a classic Colombian emerald absorp- tion spectrum.

  • Diamonds & Emeralds & Rubies, Oh My: Gem Lore in Baum's Wonderful
    Diamonds and Emeralds and Rubies, Oh My: Gem Lore in Baum's The Wonderful World of Oz From the ruby-studded land of the Quadlings to ubiquitous references to glittering emeralds and diamonds, gemstones play a crucial role in Baum’s iconic Wonderful World of Oz. For over a century, critics have focused primarily on biographical and allegorical explanations for the choices of specific gems and metals without thoroughly exploring other possibilities. Instead, a bimetallic discourse on gold and silver introduced in the 1960s has been accepted as fact by academics and readers alike, as have gem choices linked to everything from Baum’s birthstone and Irish roots to Chicago’s Crystal Palace. I propose to take a new, archetypal approach, arguing, by contrast, that the selection of emerald (rather than, for example, topaz) as the featured gemstone links Oz to centuries of mythology. An examination of alchemy and its cultural influences, as well as Baum’s undisputed belief in Theosophy, furnish additional connections. Thus in nearly all ancient and sacred thought, esoteric gem lore has traditionally played integral roles in life and religious beliefs. A connection between emeralds and vision, for example, is associated with the Emperor Nero, Apostle John, Pliny the Elder, and even Napoleon. Moreover, this connection between the emerald and the human eye, which plays such a prominent role as the Emerald City where everyone must wear locked-on green goggles, has its roots in the Hindu Vedas, Sanskrit mantras, the Koran, and Judeo-Christian beliefs. This substantial precedent is echoed in the history of ruby lore and the connection of the red stone to female rulers who possess ruby thrones and a ruby-encircled cap (Glinda) to a ruby palace (Gaylette).

  • Assessment of Tourmaline As an Indicator Mineral Is Independent of the Method Chosen to Calculate Structural Formulae
    Originally published as: Galbraith, C. G., Clarke, D. B., Trumbull, R. B., Wiedenbeck, M. (2009): Assessment of Tourmaline Compositions as an Indicator of Emerald Mineralization at the Tsa da Glisza Prospect, Yukon Territory, Cananda. - Economic Geology, 104, 5, 713-731 DOI: 10.2113/gsecongeo.104.5.713 Assessment of Tourmaline Compositions as an Indicator of Emerald Mineralization at the Tsa da Glisza Prospect, Yukon Territory, Canada Christopher G. Galbraith* Department of Earth Sciences, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada B3H 3J5 D. Barrie Clarke Department of Earth Sciences, Dalhousie University, Halifax, NS, Canada B3H 3J5 Robert B. Trumbull GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Telegrafenberg, 14473 Potsdam, Germany and Michael Wiedenbeck GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Telegrafenberg, 14473 Potsdam, Germany Abstract Tourmaline is ubiquitous at the Tsa da Glisza emerald prospect, Yukon Territory, occurring as porphyroblasts in greenschist-facies meta-volcanic and ultramafic rocks, and as crystals in granites, aplites, and quartz-tourmaline veins. The principal occurrence of emerald is along contacts between the quartz-tourmaline veins and mafic country rocks, but it also occurs in the aplites. We assess the potential of using tourmaline compositions as a guide to emerald mineralization at Tsa da Glisza based on major-element, trace-element (Li, Be, Sc, Cr, V, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, As, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Cd, Mo, Sn, Sb, Cs, Ba, Ta, W, Bi, Pb, Th, and U), REE (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Yb, Lu), and boron isotopic data. The tourmaline compositions encompass Na-Fe schorl, Na-Mg dravite, and Ca-Mg uvite and show a strong dependence on host-rock chemistry.
