0.39 Ct. Emerald from Russia

Emeralds have long held a place of intrigue and admiration among gemstone enthusiasts and collectors alike. This beautiful transparent emerald, weighing 0.39 carats and fashioned in an emerald cut, is no exception. Its stunning green hues, measured at dimensions of 5.13 x 3.38 x 3.05 mm, offer a vivid glimpse into the Earth's natural artistry. What makes this gemstone all the more unique is its Russian origin, a factor that plays a crucial role in its formation, history, and ultimately, its appeal. At The Natural Emerald Company, we take pride in offering such exquisite stones that are steeped in both geological and cultural significance.

The formation of this emerald can be traced back millions of years, a journey beginning deep within the Earth's crust. Russian emeralds are particularly remarkable due to the specific geological conditions in which they are formed. Unlike their Colombian or Zambian counterparts, Russian emeralds emerge from themicaceous schists, rocks known for their mineral composition that includes biotite and phlogopite. These conditions facilitate the presence of key elements such as chromium and vanadium, which impart the emeralds their lush green color. Over centuries, tectonic pressures and high temperatures catalyze a combination of beryl and these elements to give birth to an emerald, encapsulating a profound narrative forged through immense natural processes.

The emerald cut of this gemstone further amplifies its allure by highlighting its transparency and color intensity. This specific type of cut, with its parallel step facets, is designed to showcase the natural clarity and depth of color that makes the emerald such a beloved gemstone. This beautifully executed cut endows the stone with a vivid color intensity that can only be described as eye-catching. Moreover, the clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, ensures that the stone maintains an appealing aesthetic with inclusions that provide a unique fingerprint without detracting from its overall beauty. The excellent polish further complements these qualities, providing a mirror-like finish that enhances light reflection and contributes to its striking visual impact.

Emeralds from Russia have been celebrated for their vibrant colors and relative clarity. These characteristics have historically drawn the attention of educated buyers seeking gems with both remarkable physical properties and distinct provenances. Russian emeralds are often considered valuable due to their rarity and the geological complexities involved in their extraction. Our transparent emerald is no different, representing a fusion of mineralogical wonder and skilled craftsmanship. A piece like this is not only a testament to the Earth's natural bounty but also a symbol of human endeavor to capture such beauty and share it with the world, a mission we uphold at The Natural Emerald Company.

By choosing a gemstone with historical weight and unrivaled allure, a discerning buyer gains more than just a beautiful stone.
