This article is about the current version of DF.
Note that some content may still need to be updated.

Emeralds (a green form of the mineral beryl), are precious gems, found in small clusters within schist, granite, and marble. They have a value of 40, which makes them excellent trade goods or decorations - if they do appear on the map, emeralds tend to be much more plentiful than all other gems of equal value; however, unlike those, emerald clusters never contain more valuable gem inclusions.

Due to the layers where they are found, they are often in small clusters adjacent to the magma sea, leaving only 1 or 2 crystals far enough away from the magma to be mined.

Like all precious and rare gems, they may also make up part of the walls of unusual volcanic walls.
