1.40 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This exquisite, one of a kind transparent green emerald offered by The Natural Emerald Company is a rare find for collectors and connoisseurs who demand both beauty and provenance, a solitary 1.40 carat faceted gemstone cut in a classic emerald shape that measures 9.08 by 6.18 by 3.35 mm and shines with intense color and an excellent polish. Originating from Zambia, this gem carries the signature depth and pure green saturation that Zambian mines are celebrated for, and its slightly included clarity when evaluated at eye level confirms that it is a natural, uncommonly honest stone rather than a synthetic twin. The emerald cut emphasizes the stone s clarity and color zoning, allowing light to play across its pavilion and table in a way that elevates its refined hue, and the standard enhancement applied is a common, accepted treatment that improves visual appeal while preserving the integrity of the crystal. For the discerning buyer who appreciates the limited availability of top tier emeralds in this size and color, this piece represents an opportunity to own a distinct treasure that will be admired now and treasured by future generations.

Durability is an important consideration for any fine gem, and this Zambian emerald rates approximately 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, which places it well above many common jewelry materials and ensures it is resilient for rings and pendants when set with proper protection, while acknowledging that it is not as hard as sapphire at 9 or diamond at 10 and therefore benefits from mindful daily wear and occasional professional checks to maintain its settings. The slightly included clarity contributes character without compromising strength, and the superb polish enhances surface resistance to abrasion while maximizing light return, making this gem both wearable and remarkably lustrous. At The Natural Emerald Company we present this emerald as part of an exclusive selection, each stone vetted for authenticity and crafted to stand out, and we welcome you to inquire about bespoke settings, secure viewing, and certification options to make this rare Zambian treasure your own.
