1.87 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

From the first touch of sun on ancient Colombian rock, to the careful hands that free the crystal from its matrix, this emerald carries a story that is geological, human, and timeless. Born in the famed Muzo region of Colombia, this stone formed over millions of years under conditions that are rare and specific, where mineral rich fluids deposited chromium and vanadium to create that unmistakable green. Miners in Muzo have worked these veins for generations, and each piece they recover is a fragment of landscape and legacy. This specimen arrives to you C.Dunaigre certified, an assurance of its provenance and quality, and it weighs 1.87 carats, a weight that places it in a special category among emeralds from this region. The weight alone speaks to a combination of preservation and opportunity, because retaining nearly two carats through extraction and cutting is uncommon, and that presence changes how the gem lives in light and on the finger.

The journey from rough crystal to this emerald cut is a tale of restraint and skill, a process guided by the goal of preserving the depth of color and natural character while enhancing face up brilliance. Cut into a classic emerald cut, with dimensions of 8.64 x 6.11 x 5.18 mm, the proportions emphasize directional light return and a table that reveals the intense color intensity that collectors and connoisseurs prize. At 1.87 carats the stone has enough mass to show saturation without appearing heavy or dark, a delicate balance achieved by the cutter who left sufficient depth to secure that vibrant green, while polishing each facet to an excellent polish. The clarity is assessed as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which tells a story of natural growth and authenticity rather than laboratory perfection. These slight inclusions are common in emeralds, and in this stone they act as fingerprints of origin, small markers that confirm that this is a natural gem from Muzo that has been enhanced by standard methods familiar to the trade, applied carefully to stabilize and reveal the color.

For those who understand why weight matters, this 1.87 carat emerald delivers a rare combination of visual impact and practical versatility. Weight influences value in two ways, one measurable and one experiential. Measurably, carat weight is a principal factor in valuation, and stones approaching two carats from a world class source such as Muzo command attention in the market, especially when color intensity is as strong as what you see here. Experientially, weight creates presence, an ability to catch the eye across a room, and to read as a true centerpiece when set in a ring, pendant, or bespoke piece. The dimensions provide a generous face up area, so the gem wears larger than its weight alone might suggest, while the emerald cut makes the most of the stone s depth to deepen saturation without losing clarity at a glance. At The Natural Emerald Company we narrate each gem with transparency, and this emerald s combination of nearly two carats, intense green, excellent polish, and named origin from Muzo is the kind of offering that collectors seek, and designers request for headline pieces. This stone invites a setting that celebrates its story, whether a single stone ring that honors its miner to wearer journey, or a bespoke creation that keeps the provenance visible and meaningful. If you wish to discuss setting options, certification details, or to view the stone in person, The Natural Emerald Company is ready to guide you, because each gem we bring forward is more than an object, it is a carried history, and the weight of 1.87 carats is the measure of its rarity and its ability to become an heirloom.
