Clarity is one of the essentials in selecting diamonds, but in colored stones, this characteristic can be considerably less important...but not always. This is especially true when it comes to emeralds because of what is often referred to as the 'garden'. A garden is a natural feature internal to the stone that may appear like a silky web trapped within. Gardens are as varied as snowflakes and fingerprints and should be thought of in much the same way. Dense gardens may have an affect on clarity, but clarity alone should not sway one's opinion of a particular stone. The degree to which clarity affects a stone,s appeal and value is a very subjective consideration. Many emerald buyers will often place greater emphasis on color.
