1.39 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

From the heart of Colombian geology to the palm of your hand, this emerald tells a story of time and care, and The Natural Emerald Company is proud to share it with you. Formed deep within metamorphic rock over millions of years, this transparent, vivid green gem was carefully brought to light from Colombia, a region renowned for producing some of the world’s most sought after emeralds. GUBELIN certified, weighing 1.39 carat, the stone has been precision cut into an emerald cut with dimensions 8.69 x 5.60 x 3.95 mm, revealing a luminous table and step facets that emphasize its intense color. Its clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level speaks to the gem’s natural character, while an excellent polish allows each facet to catch and reflect light, transforming geological history into wearable brilliance. The enhancement is standard, a conservation practiced to stabilize and display the gem’s innate beauty, and the Gübelin report verifies both origin and authenticity, a reassurance we provide to every client at The Natural Emerald Company.

In terms of durability, emeralds rate around 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, which positions them harder than common jewelry stones such as quartz, which sits at about 7, and slightly softer than corundum family gems like sapphire and ruby, which are at 9, and well below diamond at 10. This means the gemstone is robust enough for many types of jewelry, yet its characteristic inclusions and cleavage require thoughtful design and care. For daily wear pieces we recommend protective settings, such as a bezel or guarded prongs, to minimize exposure to knocks and to preserve the stone’s face up appearance. As you consider this GUBELIN certified Colombian emerald, imagine its path from deep earth to expert hands, from careful cutting to the finished gem offered by The Natural Emerald Company, ready to become a treasured heirloom that carries both geological wonder and the human touch of master craftsmanship.
