2.03 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Millions of years ago, deep within the Earth's crust, a remarkable transformation began as minerals converged under intense pressure and temperature to give birth to one of nature's rare marvels, the emerald. Our exquisite 2.03-carat emerald, with its lush green hue and captivating brilliance, is a testament to this natural artistry. Formed in the rich geological tapestry of Zambia, this gemstone has witnessed eons unfold, its creation steeped in the dynamic processes that define Earth's geological history.

The gem, measuring 8.79 x 6.96 x 5.05 mm, owes its origins to the profound tectonic shifts and volcanic activity characteristic of this region. These geological mechanisms facilitated the crystallization of beryl minerals, the key constituent of emeralds, alongside trace elements like chromium and vanadium, imparting the gemstone's vivid green color that distinguishes it from others. The precise conditions required for its formation make emeralds such as this exceptionally rare, and the origin from Zambia adds an extra layer of distinction, known for producing stones with remarkable clarity and saturation.

This emerald features a mixed brilliant-cut faceting style that enhances its diverse optical properties. The mixed brilliant cut combines the deep brilliance of traditional cuts with the meticulous precision of modern techniques, maximizing the return of light through the scheme of its facets. As knowledgeable buyers will appreciate, the cushion shape accentuates the stone's natural luminescence, imparting a distinctive aesthetic that transcends the ordinary. The craftsmanship evident in every facet transforms the raw gemstone into a polished jewel, highlighting the merging of nature's design with human artistry.
