If you are searching for the perfect green gemstone to finish an engagement ring, to elevate a signature piece of jewelry, or to add a rare and collectible stone to your personal trove, your search can confidently end here. This exceptional emerald from Colombia answers the desire for a gem that combines vivid color, refined cut, and authentic natural character, and The Natural Emerald Company is proud to present it to discerning clients who value provenance and quality. Whether your priority is an unforgettable center stone that will draw eyes and admiration, or a museum quality specimen to anchor a private collection, this emerald is designed to meet those needs with grace and substance.

This transparent 1.59 carat emerald presents an elegant emerald cut shape with precise dimensions of 9.39 x 6.14 x 4.09 mm, and it displays an intense green color that is the hallmark of fine Colombian material. The emerald cut enhances the stone s depth and clarity, with step facets that create broad flashes of saturated color and a refined geometric silhouette that suits both classic and contemporary settings. Clarity is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem s overall brilliance when set and viewed as a finished piece. The polish on this stone is excellent, so light plays cleanly across the facets and the surface presents a crisp, glass like finish. Enhancement is standard, a most common and accepted practice that preserves the natural beauty of the stone while stabilizing its appearance, and as a Colombian emerald it carries the prestige and allure that collectors and couples often seek.

Durability is an important consideration when choosing a gemstone for everyday wear, and this emerald performs well within the context of fine colored stones. Emeralds are a variety of the mineral beryl, and they typically range from about 7.5 to 8.0 on the Mohs scale of hardness. For perspective, diamond rates a 10 on the Mohs scale, making it the hardest natural gem, and corundum species such as sapphire and ruby measure a 9.0. Quartz sits at a 7.0 on the same scale. While emeralds do not reach the extreme hardness of diamonds or corundum, their hardness is sufficient for regular wear provided they are handled with appropriate care and set in protective mountings. The presence of natural inclusions influences toughness more than hardness alone, and those inclusions are part of this stone s fingerprint and charm. To maximize longevity, settings that protect the girdle and corners, such as a bezel or a protective high quality mounting with secure prongs, are recommended, and occasional professional inspection and gentle cleaning will preserve the gem s vivid appearance for years to come.

Beyond technical specifications, this emerald speaks to the emotional needs that bring customers to The Natural Emerald Company in the first place. The intense Colombian green is immediately evocative, delivering a visual presence that reads as both noble and modern, and the emerald cut gives the stone a sophisticated face up that works brilliantly in solitaire rings, three stone designs, and bespoke creations where the gem is the undisputed focal point. For collectors, the combination of weight, transparency, and color intensity makes this piece a rare and desirable addition to a curated group of fine stones. For couples seeking an engagement ring that stands apart from mainstream choices, this emerald offers personality and meaning, and it will become an heirloom whose story grows richer with each passing year.
