Emeralds are pretty useless in the game.... you can only trade with them and thats pretty much it... i suggest making emeralds tools or armor or something else that is usefull in the game.
The idea of add weapons, tools and armors based in emerald is not modern. In fact, it is a very knew idea.
And not, it is not a good idea. Would you make an sword using coins as basis material?
Well considering coins are metal and swords are metal... Yes? It makes more sense than Diamond anyways, which would shatter after a single hit.
I actually don't hate the idea if you take into account how easy it is to grind Emeralds with a Village. If they were purely decorative and equal to Gold tier I'm on board with this.

Diamond is the hardest known natural material on both the Vickers and the Mohs scale.
I don't think it would shatter after a single hit, seeing how it is the hardest known natural material
It's actually that diamond is a crystal. Diamond, being a crystal, forms with 90 degree cleavage planes. That means that by hitting a cleavage plane with a hard enough strike, and it would split very easily.
A set of emerald tools and armor would be useless, though. There's no way to get around it. The best fix would be to make them as good as gold or iron, but increase the amount of XP you get per orb when wearing a set. That way it would have a purpose, and it may be useful after that.

Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.
Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
Emerald tools and armor suggestion #3928. No need to make currency into this stuff. Diamond stuff is already powerful.

Yeah, that guy in the avatar is me. I'm *that* strange. It happens. Sometimes people act like that. Just go with it. I can offer help with suggestions even before you post them - NOT make your suggestions - but help you with them.

Another use for emerald? I dunno, i like the fact that there's some sort of ultra-rare item in the game that is basically useless.
Plus, you already need emeralds for a set of Armour! Chain-mail!
But i too wish that something new with emeralds was added. Like a potion or a very powerful item or block or something like that.
It could replace the Enchanted Apple when that gets removed.
