1.72 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This 1.72 carat cushion shape green emerald traces its origin to a deep time story that began millions of years ago within the ancient Colombian cordillera, when tectonic forces and hydrothermal fluids met the right chemistry in hidden veins of the earth. Beryllium rich fluids, migrating through fractures, encountered chromium and vanadium bearing host rocks and sedimentary shales, and under sustained pressure and modest heat, slow crystallization allowed this gem to grow with remarkable transparency and that vivid green only classic Colombian emeralds can achieve. The mixed brilliant cut was later fashioned to honor that natural geometry, preserving the stone dimensions of 7.71 x 7.68 x 5.25 mm while opening its face to catch light, creating a lively interplay of brilliance and depth. Natural minute inclusions are part of the emeralds birth signature, and this piece grades as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to its exceptional clarity for an emerald of intense color, and its excellent polish finishes the surface to a mirror like sheen.

Compared with other stones on the market, this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company stands out because it combines transparency, intense color intensity, and a clean eye level appearance in a size and shape that works beautifully as a centerpiece. Many lower priced emeralds compromise either color or clarity, or come from treatments that overfill fissures and leave an artificial look, but this gem carries standard enhancement in keeping with the best trade practice, without sacrificing the natural vibrancy that collectors prize. Colombian provenance remains the benchmark for the truest green, and when you compare this 1.72 carat cushion with similar carat weights from other sources, you will notice deeper saturation and a warmth that other origins rarely match. For buyers seeking value, this emerald offers superior long term appeal, because its combination of cut, precise proportions, and excellent polish maximizes optical performance, while its conservative and ethical enhancement preserves integrity. If you want a stone that narrates geological history, presents like a fine jewel, and holds market credibility, this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company is a rare, balanced choice, equally suited for an elegant commission, an enduring heirloom, or a discerning collector adding a genuine Colombian green to a curated collection.
