Gem experts differ on the degree of green that makes one stone an emerald and another stone a less-expensive green beryl. Most gemologists, gemological laboratories, and colored stone dealers call a stone green beryl when its color is "too light" for it to be classified as emerald. Even among that group, however, there's a difference of opinion about what's considered "too light."
As the gem of spring, emerald is the perfect choice as the birthstone for the month of May. It's also the gem of the 20th and 35th wedding anniversaries.
