1.10 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent 1.10 carat asscher octagon shape green emerald, measuring 6.59 x 6.12 x 4.30 mm, is cut in a classic asscher style, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, enhancement standard, origin Colombia, offered by The Natural Emerald Company. The light falls through its step facets like moonlight through a glass of spring water, each pavilion and table aligned to hold and return a pure, verdant glow. In the palm of your hand it sits like a secret kept, small and resolute, its octagonal geometry giving it the quiet authority of an old heraldic jewel, its transparent body revealing the whispers of the earth within. The asscher cut magnifies its inner life, turning tiny natural inclusions into the soft lace of a landscape seen from a high window, and the vivid green breathes with a clarity and depth that invites lingering and reverence.

Imagine now the slow forging of this gem, a tale written in the language of geologic time, millions of years before names and cities. Deep beneath the Andean soil, where ancient seas and mountain fires collided, currents of mineral rich fluid threaded through fractures and cavities, carrying beryllium and color giving chromium and vanadium in a warm embrace. Pressure and patience coaxed crystalline order from chaotic warmth, layer by layer, as cooling waters allowed a crystal lattice to arrange itself into the emerald we now behold. Over epochs the mountain lifted and rivers cut down, revealing this green heart to light at last, where a master cutter shaped its angles with precision and a polisher coaxed a mirror from its surface. From that long subterranean dawn to the attentive hands that set and finish it, this emerald carries the memory of wind and water, flame and time, a compact world of romance and geology. Wear it and you wear a story that began when the planet itself was still composing its high poetry, and let The Natural Emerald Company guide you in making that ancient story part of your own.
