The exceptional quality of this transparent 1.73 carat emerald speaks volumes about its distinguished origin and meticulous craftsmanship. Sourced from the eminent mines of Zambia, renowned for their rich deposits and superb quality gemstones, this emerald features dimensions of 9.06 x 7.07 x 5.15 mm, showcasing both the majesty and the heritage that come steeped in its vibrant hues. Prized for its intense color intensity, this gem embodies the pure and vivacious greens that are hallmark to Zambian emeralds. The coloration is not only striking but also saturated to an ideal extent, ensuring the vivid appeal and lasting lure that are integral to gemstones of such high caliber.
Presented in an oval shape, the gem offers a balanced form that amplifies its natural beauty and brilliant color saturation. The mixed brilliant cut further underscores the craftsmanship invested in this exquisite stone. Through this faceting style, the gem is able to reach an admirable scintillation, allowing light to interplay seamlessly off its surfaces. Despite a clarity grade deemed as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the emerald’s overall appearance remains unaffected to experienced observers, attributing more to its uniqueness rather than detracting from its essence. These minor inclusions are typical and serve to remind the wearer of its natural formation process, thereby enhancing its character and capturing the interest of connoisseurs.
This remarkable emerald ties back to traditions that have cherished the use of gemstones not only for their aesthetic allure but also for their symbolic meanings, often associated with wealth and vitality.

At The Natural Emerald Company, we pride ourselves not only on offering gemstones of such eminent quality but on providing pieces that maintain a connection to their storied past.
