1.75 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

From the depths of the Muzo mountains to the light that dances across its table, this 1.75 carat emerald cut green emerald tells a long and careful story. Certified by C.Dunaigre, and presented by The Natural Emerald Company, the gem began as a pocket of saturated green trapped in crystalline rock beneath Colombian soil, where miners with generations of local knowledge extracted it with respect for the land and for tradition. Measured at 8.83 x 5.90 x 4.53 mm, with an emerald cut that emphasizes its geometric clarity, this stone shows vivid color intensity, an excellent polish, standard enhancement, and a clarity grade described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level. Skilled cutters brought out that vividness, aligning facets to catch light from the heart of the gem so the color reads clean and alive, a testament to both natural formation and human craft. The C.Dunaigre certificate is the final chapter in its journey, a formal witness that what you hold came from Muzo and was shaped with care.

When you compare the hue and tone of this Muzo emerald to other famous sources, the differences tell their own stories. Compared to Zambian emeralds, which often carry a denser, more bluish tone and a slightly deeper body color due to higher iron content, the Muzo hue is purer and more vivid, leaning toward a classic Colombian green that balances blue and yellow in perfect equilibrium. Against Brazilian stones, which can appear lighter and sometimes more grassy or yellowish in tone, this Muzo gem reads richer, with a saturation that feels more regal. Versus Panjshir and Afghan emeralds, which may present intense dark greens that read almost forest like, the Muzo green remains luminous rather than brooding, offering transparency and sparkle that invite the eye inward. For a collector or for someone seeking a living center stone, this emerald cut Muzo stone combines the historic appeal of Colombian color with the practicality of excellent polish and pleasing clarity, making it a story ready to become part of your own.
