0.57 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

At The Natural Emerald Company, we are proud to present a truly exceptional gemstone, a transparent 0.57 carat round-shaped green emerald that measures 5.66 x 5.66 x 3.12 mm. This exquisite gemstone boasts a mixed brilliant cut, which is renowned for its ability to maximize the stone’s inherent brilliance and sparkle. The cut employs a combination of step cuts on the crown and pavilion, along with brilliant cuts on the crown, allowing the emerald to catch light beautifully, showcasing a play of scintillation that can enchant anyone. This particular emerald features a clarity grade of ‘slightly included,’ a characteristic allowing it to maintain its natural charm untarnished by the naked eye.

The slightly included grade indicates that under close inspection at eye level, minor inclusions may be seen, typical of natural emeralds, yet these do not detract from its exquisite appearance or brilliance. In fact, inclusions are often embraced in emeralds as valuable markers of authenticity and identity, known as ‘garden’ features. This means that they bear the fingerprint of nature herself, a testament to the gem’s natural creation process. Such characteristics make the stone all the more precious and endearing, particularly to educated buyers who appreciate the unique nuances each emerald carries. Furthermore, emeralds with high color intensity and excellent polish, such as this one, are rare finds. These qualities highlight its vibrant green hue, giving it a velvety, verdant appearance desired in the finest emeralds.

The intense color intensity of this emerald is truly captivating. Color intensity is crucial to the value and beauty of emeralds, determining their vibrancy and tone. This stone, boasting an intense and deeply saturated green, aligns with the most coveted standards in the gemstone world. Intense green reflects a sense of growth, renewal, and prosperity, making it a fitting symbol of commitment and renewal. Sourced from the reputable Zambian mines, known worldwide for producing some of the most vibrant and beautiful emeralds, this stone possesses the renowned bluish undertones diverging from Colombian emeralds. These subtle differences in coloration impart a rich, intriguing emerald hue unique to Zambian gemstones, evidenced in celebrated collections worldwide.

Emeralds were highly prized throughout history by various cultures, from Egyptian pharaohs to South American royalty, serving not only as adornments but also as symbols of status and wealth. An emerald like this serves as a magnificent representation of these traditions, carrying both historical prestige and modern appeal. For those seeking a gemstone that radiates elegance and lustrous beauty, coupled with heritage and pride, this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company becomes not merely a stone but a piece of art and history.
