Diving deeper into its characteristics, the clarity grade of this emerald stands at very slightly included, signifying the presence of minute inclusions visible only upon close inspection.

The intense color saturation is expertly preserved during the cutting process, ensuring that the emerald does not merely replicate natural beauty but enhances it, producing a vibrant glow. This vivid intensity complements the gemstone’s other characteristics, creating a unified aesthetic appeal.

Finally, the demonstration of an excellent polish confirms the stone's prestige and readiness to captivate. The surface smoothness achieved through precise buffing operations at The Natural Emerald Company ensures that the gemstone feels luxurious to touch, with all its facets polished to reflect light with crystal-clear purity.
