The Hexagon is a shape with deep symbolic meaning. It is seen as a symbol of harmony and balance, as it is symmetrical and evenly proportioned. Hexagons are found in many sacred shapes, including the Flower of Life, which is an ancient symbol that can be found in architecture and art around the world. Hexagonal patterns are also common in nature, as they are efficient and strong. Honeycombs, for example, require less wax to construct than other shapes, and they are very resilient to compression.

Emeralds are a type of green beryl, and their color is caused by trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. In nature, emeralds can be found in a variety of locations, including Colombia, Brazil, Zimbabwe, and Russia. However, these deposits are often quite small, and the quality of the emeralds can be somewhat variable. Emeralds can be created in laboratory with modern technology which offers superior clarity and consistent color. The process of creating synthetic emeralds begins with aluminum oxide, which is placed in a furnace and heated to over 1800 degrees Celsius. This causes the molecules to break down and reform into a crystalline structure. Trace amounts of chromium and vanadium are then added to produce the desired green color. Finally, the Synthetic Emeralds are cooled slowly to prevent internal stresses that can weaken the crystal structure. The result is a beautiful gemstone that is virtually identical to its natural counterpart.
