What if the green glow of an emerald wasn’t born on Earth? In this episode, we reveal how one of the rarest elements in the universe, beryllium, forms not in volcanoes or deep mines, but in the violent aftermath of exploding stars. Follow a Geneva physicist and a gem dealer as we clear up the cosmic origins of emeralds, from interstellar collisions to mineral inclusions, and discover how every gemstone carries the legacy of "galactic violence". This is not just gemology; it’s astrophysics in a gemstone.
