0.70 Ct. Emerald from Afghanistan

If you are looking for a centerpiece that balances rare beauty with authentic provenance, this transparent 0.70 carat cushion shape green emerald from Afghanistan answers that search beautifully, brought to you by The Natural Emerald Company. Measuring 5.52 by 5.47 by 4.03 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style and finished to an excellent polish, this gem offers a lively face up performance and a comfortable profile for custom engagement settings or a collector quality mount. Its medium color intensity reads as a pure, vivid green in natural light, while the slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, gives the stone personality and a natural fingerprint that no two emeralds share. The enhancement is standard, consistent with traditional emerald treatments that stabilize and reveal the best of the stone without altering its essential character, so you receive a gem that is both durable and honest in its presentation.

When you compare this natural Afghan emerald to lab grown emerald alternatives, the differences are important for buyers who want a lasting emotional and financial connection to their jewel. Natural stones like this one carry a geological history and a unique pattern of internal characteristics that tell a story of millions of years of formation, a story that cannot be replicated in a laboratory. Slight inclusions are not flaws in disguise, they are verifiable markers of authenticity that allow gem specialists and future appraisers to confirm origin and treatment, supporting long term value. Lab grown stones may offer consistency and lower price, but they lack the provenance and scarcity that collectors and discerning couples prize. At The Natural Emerald Company we source and present gems with clear disclosure about origin and enhancement, so you know you are acquiring a piece with verifiable Afghan origin and natural formation. If your search is for an engagement ring that symbolizes singular commitment, or for a collector piece that appreciates as a rare natural asset, this cushion cut emerald resolves that quest, a final choice that combines hand finished craftsmanship, genuine natural origin, and the unmistakable depth of a true emerald.
