In evaluating this emerald's durability, it is essential to refer to the Mohs scale, a measure widely used to compare mineral hardness. Emerald registers between 7.5 and 8 on the Mohs scale, placing it as a highly durable stone suitable for a variety of jewelry settings. This hardness ensures that the emerald can withstand everyday wear while maintaining its structural integrity and brilliance. The inclusion of minor imperfections, designated as slightly included, is typical in emeralds and serves as an assurance of the gem's natural formation. These inclusions, sometimes known as the emerald's "jardin" or garden, are hallmark features of natural stones and enhance their authenticity.
