1.62 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

This C.Dunaigre certified 1.62 carat emerald, presented by The Natural Emerald Company, is a classic emerald cut green emerald with precise dimensions of 9.07 x 6.27 x 3.92 mm, exhibiting a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish. The emerald cut offers broad, step cut facets that showcase the stone's pure green hue while minimizing unnecessary brilliance, allowing the saturated color to remain the dominant attribute, which is especially desirable to an educated buyer focused on color and tone. The clarity grade is described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a designation that indicates minor internal features observable under careful inspection but not detrimental to visual appeal, and the reported enhancement is standard, consistent with traditional trade practice for fine Colombian stones. Certified provenance from Colombia Muzo adds further value, as Muzo mines are renowned for producing some of the world’s most sought after emeralds with exceptional depth of color and superior transparency.

Inclusions in this emerald are best understood as unique identifiers that contribute to its character and provenance, rather than flaws to be wholly concealed, and these internal features can include delicate feather like fissures, tiny crystal inclusions, and occasional liquid or three phase inclusions that are typical of Colombian material. Such inclusions act like a fingerprint, helping gemologists and experienced buyers confirm origin and authenticity, and they often tell the story of the gem’s geological formation over millions of years, which adds both aesthetic and scientific interest. The standard enhancement, typically seen as oiling to reduce the visibility of surface reaching fissures and to stabilize the appearance of the stone, is a widely accepted and reversible treatment within the industry, and it is fully disclosed here to support transparency and long term value retention. For the discerning collector or investor, this emerald’s combination of vivid Colombian color, transparent body, authentic inclusions, superb cut and polish, and authoritative C.Dunaigre certification make it an exceptional acquisition, and our team at The Natural Emerald Company is available to provide detailed microscopy imagery and independent verification on request.
