Caring for and recharging your emerald

Véronique,
gemmologist at MATY for 32 years, reveals her secrets...

To energetically recharge your emerald, you can immerse it for a few hours in demineralized water, or leave it to charge in the sun.

Emeralds can be cleaned with lukewarm water, a small brush and a little soap to remove any marks. Emeralds are fragile stones, however, and require the utmost care!
