Emerald is Emeralds are one of the four five types of [[gem]]s found in Diablo III. The others are [[Amethyst]], [[Ruby]], [[Topaz]], and [[Diamonds]], the last added in [[Patch 2.0.1]] and [[Reaper of Souls]]. See [[gems|the main gems article]] for full details about gem scarcity, upgrade recipes, strategy, and more. Emeralds boost Dexterity when socketed in armor, add Critical hit Damage in weapons, and Gold Find in helm. Emeralds is generally the most popular gem to socket into a weapon in the [[end game]], since well-geared characters, especially those with high Critical hit Chance, get the most benefit out of raising their Critical hit Damage. Emeralds are much less useful in weapons for lower level or poorly-geared characters who do not have at least 25% ChC. Emeralds are also used by Monks and Demon Hunters to boost their dexterity and damage in armor. Helms are the only non-viable socketing option for Emeralds, since almost every player feels that there are many better choices to fill the hole in their head. It has often been suggested that the Emerald in helm bonus be doubled or tripled (or more) to make that a more viable option.  ==Emerald Changes== During the Beta test, Emeralds boosted [[Magic Find]] in helms. This bonus was switched back to Topaz (as it was in Diablo 2) before Diablo 3's release and Emeralds became the helm Gold Find gem.

Emeralds are the only Diablo III gem which we know the stats for, thanks to one's appearance in the Artisan introductory movie, in August 2010.
There are 14 levels of gems in Diablo III. Nothing is yet known of the bonuses higher gems will provide, but most fans assume they will grow to very impressive levels, given how difficult and time-consuming it will be to upgrade a gem past level 10.
The only recently confirmed stat is from a normal (level 3) [[Emerald]], as seen in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNP8QiNbFmU Gamescom 2010 Artisan video]. That gem granted:
* Weapon: +4% Casting Speed.
* Helms: Attackers take 7 damage.
* Other: +7 dexterity
In the Diablo 2 expansion, a level 3 emerald grants:
* Weapons: 17 poison damage over 1 second
* Armor & Helms: +6 dexterity.
* Shields: +22% Poison Resistance
** Clvl 12 required for all
 ==Diablo II Emerald== Though {{iw|gems Emeralds were found in Diablo II}}, their stats are not the same as Emeralds in Diablo III. The numerical following are the stat bonuses for Emeralds in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction.  {| width="95%"! width=10% | Quality! Weapon! Helm or Armor! Shield! Clvl Req|-| Chipped| Adds 5 (but not the type of bonus5.9) poison damage in 1 sec| +3 to Dexterity| +12% Poison Resistance| 1|-| Flawed| Adds 11 (11.7) poison damage in 1 sec| +4 to Dexterity| +16% Poison Resistance| 5|-| Normal| Adds 17 (17.6) from gems changed from D2C poison damage in 1 sec| +6 to D2X, but clearly there are major differences Dexterity| +22% Poison Resistance| 12|-| Flawless| Adds 23 (23.4) poison damage in more than the numbers1 sec| +8 to Dexterity| +28% Poison Resistance| 15|-| Perfect| Adds 29 (29. Diablo 3 grants entirely different types of bonuses, and categorizes the socketable items differently as well.) poison damage in 1 sec| +10 to Dexterity| +40% Poison Resistance| 18|}
