1.56 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This 1.56 carat emerald presents as a transparent, emerald cut gemstone with precise dimensions of 7.36 by 6.58 by 4.74 mm, an intense green color, and an excellent polish. The stepped facets of the emerald cut emphasize both the depth of tone and the stone geometry, producing an even and lively face up appearance. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural emerald material of fine color. Enhancement is standard, and the stone is of Colombian origin, a provenance known for producing deeply saturated, well structured emerald crystals. The proportions and finish allow the rich green to register strongly under varied lighting, while the pavilion and crown geometry preserve brilliance and color concentration in balanced measure.

The internal characteristics of this emerald are a defining aspect of its identity, creating an unmistakable signature that is both diagnostic and aesthetically engaging. A three dimensional jardin of fine needle like and plate like inclusions traces the growth patterns of the crystal, producing delicate linear textures and wisps that refract light internally and lend the gem a living, botanical appearance. Two phase fluid inclusions and tiny negative crystals occur as minute windows into the stone formation process, and coupled with fine feathered fissures they generate subtle variations in brilliance across the table. These features are typical of Colombian material, and they contribute to the stone personality by enhancing depth and vitality rather than masking color. The slightly included clarity at eye level is offset by the intense hue and superior polish, resulting in a gem that reads as vivid and natural, with character derived from its internal architecture. Presented by The Natural Emerald Company, this emerald combines classic Colombian color with distinctive inclusions that confirm natural origin and add an intrinsic, one of a kind signature to any setting.
