  Emerald - english
From a chemical-mineralogical point of view, emeralds are beryllium-aluminium-silicates with a good hardness of 7.5 to 8, and belong, like the light blue aquamarine, the tender pink morganite, the golden heliodor and the pale green beryl, to the large gemstone family of the beryls.
In the case of the emerald, it is mainly traces of chromium and vanadium which are responsible for the fascinating colour.
Emeralds are also cut in many other, mainly classical shapes, but if the raw material contains a large number of inclusions, it may often be cut into a gently rounded cabochon, or into one of the emerald beads which are so popular in India.

 The Emerald Object Model
Hence, in Emerald the choice of a method to be executed in response to a request is limited to the single implementation of the operation contained in the object.
In Emerald, all operations are naturally polymorphic (i.e., work "correctly" regardless of the types of their arguments) because objects (of different types) may be used as arguments provided they conform to the types declared for the formal parameters of the operation (a form of inclusion polymorphism).
Emerald's approach to typing allows the use of any object that can handle a given set of messages (satisfies an interface) in a context that sends just those messages (requires that interface), independently of how those messages are implemented within the object.
