No, Emerald is a variety of the mineral beryl (Be3Al2(SiO3)6,) colored green by trace amounts of chromium and sometimes vanadium and not an igneous rock. However beryl crystals form in association with Granite intrusions (which are Igneous rocks) and are often associated with tin and tungsten ore bodies in what are called pegmatities. They are also to be found in mica schists which are metamorphic rocks and also uniquely, the emerald deposits in Colombia Colombia are in limestone, a sedimentary rock.
