1.93 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

From the ancient Colombian hills to the careful hands of our master gem cutters, this emerald has traveled a long and storied path, a journey that began in the legendary Muzo mines where the earth has been giving green treasures for centuries. Deep in that famous terrain, where rain and time press beryl and chromium into a hue that has captivated civilizations, a transparent rough crystal was uncovered. That rough promised color and depth, a promise confirmed by careful inspection and ethical extraction, the kind of find that makes miners pause and measure twice, knowing they have something rare. The story of this stone is also the story of the people who coaxed it from the rock, miners who follow traditions passed down through generations, and local communities who still tell old Muzo tales about emeralds that travel from riverbeds into the hands of kings. As part of our commitment to responsible sourcing, every step from extraction to export was documented, and that provenance is an important part of what you carry when you wear this gem.

The rough was entrusted to a cutter with a delicate mission, to reveal the inner fire and maintain the weight that gives this piece its presence. The result is a cushion shape, weighing 1.93 carat, with dimensions of 7.74 by 7.57 by 5.60 mm, and a mixed brilliant cut chosen to balance scintillation and color saturation. The cutter preserved transparency while carefully removing inclusions that would distract from the vivid green, producing a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that allows light to enter and return with a lively response. Enhancement was applied to standard industry practice, a discreet step to stabilize and present the stone at its truest beauty, and nothing was done to alter the unmistakable Muzo character of the color. The gem has been independently authenticated, C.Dunaigre certified, a formal record that confirms the weight, cut, clarity assessment, origin, and other defining attributes you should expect when investing in a gem of this quality. Holding it, you will notice how the mixed brilliant facets play with light, how the cushion outline sits comfortably in the hand or on the finger, and how the vivid color intensity reads as both modern and timeless.

At The Natural Emerald Company we honor the lineage of each gem we represent, and this green cushion emerald is a fine example of that philosophy, a single stone that carries a mine, a culture, and a maker within it. Picture it set where the cushion silhouette can be admired, perhaps in a simple bezel that lets the 1.93 carat presence sing, or in a more intricate design that frames the vivid green with the warmth of gold. Because this gem is transparent and vividly colored, it adapts beautifully to both contemporary and heirloom settings, and its very slightly included clarity gives it character and authenticity, a reminder that it is a natural crystallization of geology and time rather than a manufactured novelty. Our specialists can advise on settings that protect the stone, showcase its mixed brilliant sparkle, and ensure comfort for everyday wear. We stand behind the gem with detailed certification and clear documentation of origin and enhancement, a promise that the story you take home is complete and true. When you choose this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company, you bring with you an object that began as a secret in the Muzo earth, was revealed by expert hands, and is now ready to begin a new chapter with you, a chapter that will add your own story to the stone.
