1.50 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This emerald presents as a transparent, well proportioned 1.50 carat gemstone, finished in a classic emerald cut, with precise dimensions of 7.26 x 5.63 x 5.04 mm. The stone exhibits intense green color intensity with even distribution across the table and pavilion, and an excellent polish that enhances light return and the step facet geometry characteristic of the emerald cut. Clarity is graded as included when evaluated at eye level, indicating natural internal characteristics that are typical for emeralds and that contribute to the gem character without compromising its overall transparency. Enhancement is standard, consistent with industry practice, and the origin is documented as Zambia. The weight, cut, and proportions make this stone especially suitable for settings that emphasize clarity of color and architectural lines, while its transparent appearance allows for a vibrant, lively green that responds well to both natural and artificial lighting conditions.
