He pōhaku nani a makemake nui ʻia nā Emeralds, i ʻike ʻia no ko lākou kala ʻōmaʻomaʻo ʻōmaʻomaʻo a me ka moʻokalaleo kupaianaha. Akā, ua kū paha ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o kēia mau pōhaku makamae, a he aha ke ʻano o ia mau mea kūikawā? Ma kēia moʻomanaʻo moʻomanaʻo, e ʻimi mākou i nā waiwai geological o nā emeralds, e ʻimi ana i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻia ʻana, kahi i loaʻa ai, a me ke ʻano o ia mea.
ʻO ka mea mua, e kamaʻilio e pili ana i ka hana ʻana o nā emeralds. ʻO nā Emeralds kekahi ʻano mineral kālena, i haku ʻia me ka beryllium, aluminika, a me ka silicate. Hiki ke loaʻa ka Beryl i nā kala like ʻole, e like me ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo, ka uliuli, ka ʻulaʻula, a me ka melemele, akā ʻo ka hele ʻana o ka chromium a me ka vanadium e hāʻawi i nā emeralds i ko lākou ʻano ʻōmaʻomaʻo.
Hoʻokumu ʻia nā Emeralds ma nā ʻano pōhaku metamorphic a me ka igneous, maʻamau i nā wahi me ke kaomi kiʻekiʻe a me nā kūlana wela kiʻekiʻe. Hiki ke loaʻa iā lākou ma nā wahi like ʻole a puni ka honua, me Colombia, Zambia, Brazil, a me Madagascar. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ka punawai kaulana loa o nā emeralds ʻo Colombia, kahi home o nā emeralds maikaʻi loa a waiwai loa o ka honua.
ʻO kekahi o nā waiwai kūʻokoʻa o nā emeralds ʻo kā lākou hoʻokomo ʻana, or nā mea ʻē aʻe i paʻa i loko o ka pōhaku makamae i ka wā e hana ʻia ana. Hiki i kēia mau hoʻopili ke lawe i ke ʻano o nā haʻihaʻi liʻiliʻi, nā ʻōpala kinoea, a i ʻole nā minela ʻē aʻe. I kekahi mau hihia, hiki i kēia mau hoʻokomo ke hoʻohui maoli i ka waiwai o ka emerald, no ka mea hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia e ʻike i ka mine kikoʻī a i ʻole kahi i hoʻokumu ʻia ai ka pōhaku.
ʻIke ʻia ʻo Emeralds no ko lākou paʻakikī a me ka lōʻihi. Ma ka pālākiō Mohs o ka paʻakikī mineral, hoʻonoho ʻia nā emeralds ma kahi 7.5-8, e hoʻolilo iā lākou kekahi o nā pōhaku paʻakikī loa o ka honua. ʻO ia ke ʻano he kūpaʻa lākou i ka ʻoki ʻana a me ka ʻoki ʻana, e hoʻolilo iā lākou i koho kaulana no nā mea nani i manaʻo ʻia e ʻaʻahu ʻia i kēlā me kēia lā.
Ma waho aʻe o ko lākou kala nani a me ka lōʻihi, loaʻa i nā emeralds kahi moʻolelo moʻomeheu waiwai a ua mahalo ʻia no nā kenekulia. Ua manaʻo ka poʻe ʻAigupita kahiko he mau lāʻau lapaʻau nā emeralds a e kālai pinepine iā lākou i talismans e pale aku i ka ʻino. Ua manaʻo nui ka poʻe Roma i nā emeralds, a ua ʻōlelo ʻia ʻo Cleopatra, ke aliʻi wahine kaulana o ʻAigupita, he hōʻiliʻili nui o kēia mau pōhaku nani.
I kēia lā, ʻimi nui ʻia nā emeralds, a hiki iā lākou ke kauoha i ke kumukūʻai kiʻekiʻe ma ka mākeke. Eia nō naʻe, ua alakaʻi ʻia ka noi no nā emeralds i kekahi mau pilikia i ka ʻoihana, me ka hopohopo e pili ana i nā hana mining etika a me ka mālama ʻana i nā limahana. He mea nui e noʻonoʻo i kēia mau pilikia i ke kūʻai ʻana i nā emeralds, a e ʻimi i nā koho i hoʻomau ʻia a hoʻopaʻa pono ʻia.
I ka hopena, ʻo nā emeralds he pōhaku kūʻokoʻa maoli a nani hoʻi, me ka mōʻaukala waiwai a me nā ʻano ʻano mea hoʻohiwahiwa honua. Mai ko lakou aʻo i loko o ka metamorphic a me ka igneous rock formations, i kā lākou hoʻokomo a me ka paʻakikī paʻakikī, nui nā mea e aʻo ai a mahalo e pili ana i kēia mau pōhaku kupanaha. Inā he kanaka kālaihonua kau ʻoe a i ʻole he mea makemake wale i nā mea nani nani, ʻo nā emeralds he pōhaku makamae e hoʻopio a hoʻowalewale.
