Solution

Emerald: They are particularly antique and most valuable stones like diamonds, emeralds, etc.

Although emerald looks amazingly beautiful, it is found in nature with added impurities.
Chromium is the element found in emeralds that transforms the colourless substance into a red stone.
Due to the geometry of atoms in chromium, the molecules depict energy differences, resulting in green colour.
