A chemical analysis shows that chromium (which is the cause of the green of emerald) and iron are prominent constituents in Swat emeralds. The presence of relatively high iron content means that the emeralds from Swat do not show so red a fluresence as some other emeralds as iron acts as a fluresence quencher.
The cut of the stone is also significant. Emerald can have round, pear, oval shapes the emerald cut, that is, octagonal shape is most preferred. Inclusions are almost an accepted fact in emeralds.
Deposits of the stone are also found in other parts of the world such as in Zambia, Zimbabwe, Madagascar and Nigeria. However Columbia and Brazil are the leading producers of emerald today. The mines of Egypt, which supplied emeralds to Cleopatra, are not much into production today. Among the foremost consumers of emerald are USA and Japan who buy 75% of the world's cut emerald.

Dark Green Emeralds have recently emanated from Pakistan, and these contain rather indeterminate inclusions, along which flakes of mika and small crystals of phenakite and dolomite could be recognized.
Siberian Emeralds or more commonly known as Russian Emerald is a development of thin, cavities parallel to the basal plane. Silvery luster by reflected light, but in some directions may appear black, due to total reflections. In Transvaal emeralds mica is usually a major inclusion, while in Indian emeralds are found hexagonal cavities.
Emeralds from the Ural mountains Siberian or Russian emeralds have quite a different occurrence, and this is reflected in their inclusion. Flakes of mica may be seen often broken, but the most distinctive features are blades of green actinolite cracks across. Siberian Emeralds is a development of thin, disc like cavities parallel to the basal plane. These show a silvery luster by reflected light, but in some directions may appear black, due total reflection.
The inclusions are mainly mica and liquid-filled cavities. At their best, the colour of these Emeralds is said to resemble that of stones from Sandawana and Colombia.
