1.35 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

The story of this exquisite gemstone spans millions of years, tracing back to the geological marvels deep within the earth's mantle. Our emerald, a testament to natural artistry, began its journey with a series of complex geological and chemical interactions. These interactions occur at immense depths, where specific conditions are crucial for emerald formation. Rich in chromium and vanadium, elements that impart the coveted green hue, the mineral-rich environment in Zambia was a perfect cradle for the birth of this emerald. As tectonic forces orchestrated the convergence of specific rocks, the pressure and temperature conditions initiated the crystallization process, setting the stage for the extraordinary gemstone now housed by The Natural Emerald Company.

Shaped by aeons of earth's dynamic movements, this emerald underwent transformative phases, each contributing to its final form. The gemstone's emerald cut, which is characterized by its clean lines and elegant step-cut facets, accentuates its visual depth and sophistication. Measuring 7.95 x 6.04 x 3.79 mm, these dimensions maximize the green brilliance while maintaining structural integrity. Precision and craftsmanship are evident in the stone's excellent polish, allowing light to interact optimally with each facet. The interaction results in an alluring dance of light and color that captivates even the most discerning eyes, emphasizing its medium color intensity that elevates this emerald to a class of its own.

The slightly included clarity grade, discernible to the naked eye, tells a compelling story of this emerald's natural origins. Inclusions, often perceived as imperfections, are in fact natural birthmarks that assert the stone’s authenticity and enhance its uniqueness. These tiny characteristics are testaments to the emerald’s organic growth process over millions of years. At The Natural Emerald Company, such intrinsic values are cherished attributes that distinguish our gemstones in a marketplace crowded with synthetics and less authentic alternatives. The powdery green color, neither too dark nor too light, captures the eye and engages the imagination, drawing one into its ancient lineage.
