1.84 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Afghanistan

This transparent 1.84 carat green emerald measures 13.14 by 4.18 by 4.13 millimeters and presents in a fancy elongated shape that is well suited to pendant drops, tapered settings, or bespoke designs. The listing records the cut as n slash a, which indicates a freeform or nonstandard faceting approach rather than a traditional classical cut, and the excellent polish ensures a bright surface that maximizes light return and visual appeal. Clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone is essentially eye clean with only minor internal characteristics that do not detract from overall transparency or brilliance. Color is described as vivid intensity, a primary determinant of emerald value, and this piece displays the saturated green tones that connoisseurs seek, combined with a transparency level that enhances its presence. Enhancement is standard, which for emeralds typically denotes routine clarity enhancement such as oiling or resin filling to improve apparent clarity and stability, a widely accepted practice in the trade provided it is disclosed.

Provenance from Afghanistan adds an important element to the gem story, as Afghan emeralds are known for their strong, pure green tones and are increasingly recognized by informed buyers for their distinctive color and crystal quality. For the educated purchaser, the combination of vivid color, near eye clean clarity, transparent body, and excellent polish creates a rare balance that supports both aesthetic appeal and long term desirability. At The Natural Emerald Company we emphasize full disclosure and responsible sourcing, and this emerald is offered with transparent information about origin and enhancement status to allow for objective valuation and comparison. Its elongated proportions make it a versatile choice for high impact jewelry where the green hue is intended to be the focal point, and we recommend independent gemological verification if a laboratory report is required for insurance or certification. This stone will particularly suit collectors and designers seeking a natural, visibly pure green emerald with authentic provenance and trade standard enhancement, representing an attractive combination of beauty and market-recognized attributes.
