What is the use for emeralds?
I recently found some emeralds while searching in a cave for some diamonds. Other than creating an emerald block, what other purposes do the emeralds serve?
Best Answer
Emerald can be used for trading with villagers. It's also very rare, you might be able to find it by looking in villagers' chests, or you could try mine for it (in a mine or cave) - you probably won't but it is worth a try.

Emerald is a gemstone and a variety of the mineral beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6) colored green by trace amounts of chromium or sometimes vanadium. Beryl has a hardness of 7.5\u20138 on the Mohs scale. Most emeralds are highly included, so their toughness (resistance to breakage) is classified as generally poor.Why is emeralds so rare?
In fact, it is believed that emeralds are rarer than diamonds. This green beauty is part of the beryl family of minerals, and gets its brilliant hue from traces of chromium and sometimes, vanadium. This particular fusion, however, doesn't happen very often, which is one of the main reasons for the stone's rarity.Is emerald rarer than diamond?
