0.97 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

The rare and exquisite emerald we present is a remarkable testament to both nature's grandeur and human craftsmanship. At a substantial 0.97 carats, this emerald is notably scarce, not just in weight but also in its verdant hue. While the global market is inundated with a myriad of green gemstones, few possess such a unified combination of size and vibrancy as this particular stone does. The Natural Emerald Company is proud to offer a gemstone that elevates elegance and rarity to an art form.

This emerald features a classic round shape, its dimensions measuring 6.24 x 6.11 x 4.80 mm, a format celebrated for both symmetry and brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut of the stone demonstrates an exemplary balance between tradition and innovation. Crafted by skilled artisans who understand the subtleties of faceting, the cut exploits the optical properties of the emerald, enhancing its capacity to play with light. The result is a scintillating display that draws the eye of any onlooker, providing a kaleidoscope of rich green hues that elegantly shift with each subtle repositioning.

The coloration of this emerald is what truly sets it apart in a market bustling with otherwise common finds. This stone is endowed with an intense color intensity that few gemstones can rival. Where other emeralds might appear pale or diluted, this particular specimen shines with a vibrant intensity akin to the lushest landscapes. Such remarkable coloration owes to both its Zambian origin and the well-preserved integrity of the mineral itself. Zambia is renowned for yielding some of the finest emeralds in the world, and our gem exemplifies this tradition of excellence.

Beyond color, the clarity of this emerald further underscores its premium quality. With a clarity grade classified as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, it reveals minor inclusions that do not hinder its visual appeal. These inclusions, intrinsic to natural emeralds, offer a testament to its authenticity and natural formation over millions of years. The crystal lattice is largely unobstructed, permitting a striking translucence that interacts beautifully with its cut and polish.

Finally, the craftsmanship brings every splendid detail of this emerald to the fore through its excellent polish. The high-quality finish reflects a sheen that enhances the stone's natural luster, emphasizing each kaleidoscopic flicker of green in its depths. This polish is the result of meticulous attention to detail by our expert craftsmen, ensuring the stone upholds the high standards synonymous with The Natural Emerald Company. Each facet is polished to perfection, guaranteeing the stone not only retains but radiates its innate beauty and sophistication.
