Which element makes emeralds green in colour?

Answer 1

Emerald (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) is a variety of the mineral beryl, colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes iron. It is highly prized as a gemstone and by weight is the most valuable gemstone in the world.

Pure beryl is colorless, but it is frequently tinted by impurities; possible colors are green, blue, yellow, red, and white. The name comes from the Greek beryllos for the precious blue-green color of sea water. Pure beryl tinted with green from chromium makes up the emerald.

Chromium was named after the Greek word "chroma" meaning color, because of the many colorful compounds made from it, as in green present in emerald..
