0.32 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

From the mountain veins of Afghanistan to the delicate light of a jewelry box, this emerald has a story you can hold. Mined from ancient metamorphic rock where tectonic patience and time coaxed chromium and vanadium into jewel tone green, this crystal was found, sorted, and nurtured by cutters who respect the stone as much as its origin. At The Natural Emerald Company we take pride in that journey, we trace each gem back to its source and celebrate the hands that shaped it. What began as a raw, forest green shard of earth was gently guided through the art of cutting into an emerald cut shape that honors the stone s natural clarity and depth, the step cut facets drawing the eye inward and allowing light to travel cleanly through the gem, revealing its transparent nature and a medium light green intensity that feels like cool light through leaves.

This 0.32 carat green emerald measures 4.92 x 3.49 x 2.73 mm, it is step cut with an excellent polish, and it carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which gives the gem character without diminishing its luminous presence. Enhancement is standard, a common and stable treatment that enhances stability and color, leaving the stone honest and wearable. Small enough to sit gracefully as a solitaire ring, a delicate pendant, or a refined pair of studs, yet striking enough to stop conversation, this emerald becomes an intimate signal of thoughtfulness when given as a gift. Imagine presenting this gem to someone special, the story of its Afghan origin shared as you set it into metal, the glow of its medium light green reflecting a promise or a memory. At The Natural Emerald Company we craft that narrative into every sale, ensuring the recipient feels connected to both the earth and the artisan who finished the stone, a gift that is at once personal, storied, and timeless.
