0.27 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

Long before human hands could recognize beauty, deep within the ancient crust of Afghanistan, this emerald began its slow and secret life. For millions of years, extreme heat and pressure coaxed beryllium rich fluids into fissures of metamorphic rock, while traces of chromium and vanadium painted the emerging crystal with its unmistakable green. As tectonic plates shifted and subterranean waters breathed, tiny seed crystals found their place, growing layer by patient layer into a transparent gem. Over epochs of uplift and erosion the host rock surrendered its treasures, and at last this single crystal, with its innate poise, was recovered and entrusted to skilled lapidaries. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to honor both the stones natural depth and its lively fire, sculpting light across a pear silhouette that measures 5.47 x 4.00 x 2.43 mm, and balances a delicate 0.27 carat weight with exceptional presence.
