Trivia

 * Emerald Ore serves no purpose as trading is not yet available. But the Emerald can be crafted into a decorational Emerald block.
 * It has a very different appearance from other ores.
 * In earlier versions of MCPC, Emerald Ore was called Ruby Ore. It was chanced due to Dinnerbone's color-blindness between red and green.
 * Emerald Ore was added in the earlier versions of MCPE, but was removed because it had no use at that time.
 * In a future update, emeralds may be used to trade with Villagers.
 * Emeralds are the rarest of all ores, typically found in veins of 1, rarely 2-3.
