1.19 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Emeralds are renowned for their captivating beauty and distinct characteristics, and the transparent 1.19 carat oval-shaped green emerald from The Natural Emerald Company stands as a testament to this allure. With precise dimensions of 8.09 x 6.00 x 4.04 mm, this gemstone encapsulates elegance within its modest size. The mixed brilliant cut employed in crafting this emerald not only enhances its sparkle but also accentuates the rich, verdant hue that emerald enthusiasts have come to appreciate. This particular piece is distinguished by its intense color intensity, which brings a vibrant depth to the stone and ensures that it catches and reflects light to mesmerizing effect.

One of the key attributes of this emerald is its clarity grade, classified as very slightly included. Evaluated at eye level, this suggests the presence of minimal inclusions, which is impressive for an emerald due to their natural formation process. Unlike more heavily included stones, this emerald offers a clearer view into its structure, allowing admirers to appreciate the internal beauty and characteristic jardin often found in emeralds. The remarkable clarity complements the stone's intense color, offering a harmonious blend of transparency and rich coloration that is highly valued in the gemstone community.

When evaluated against other gemstones within the emerald category, the reflective qualities of this Zambian emerald are noteworthy. Its mixed brilliant cut optimizes both brilliance and fire, comparing favorably with emeralds of different origins such as those from Colombia or Brazil. While Colombian emeralds are traditionally celebrated for their luxurious hue, Zambian emeralds like this one are often recognized for their superior clarity and deeply saturated tones. The excellent polish further enhances the emerald's reflective capabilities by creating a smooth surface that interacts deftly with light, resulting in a captivating dance of shimmering brilliance that rivals that of other gemstones such as sapphires or aquamarines.

The Natural Emerald Company takes pride in sourcing emeralds from Zambia, a country that has established itself as a significant supplier of fine quality stones in the global market. The geological conditions in Zambia contribute to the formation of emeralds that are not only vividly colored but also structurally robust. This particular piece's origin adds to its desirability, offering customers both aesthetic and inherent value. In summary, every aspect of this exquisite oval-shaped emerald, from its intense color intensity and impressive clarity to its exceptional polish, makes it an ideal choice for connoisseurs and collectors who seek gemstones that epitomize natural beauty and refined craftsmanship.
