2.06 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Russia

There are gems, and then there are treasures reserved for a discerning few, and this 2.06 carat marquise green emerald from The Natural Emerald Company belongs squarely to the latter category, crafted by nature and curated for collectors who understand rarity and refinement. The stone measures 12.84 by 5.79 by 4.00 mm, and its marquise cabochon shape is an elegant study in elongated symmetry that flatters every setting and finger. Transparency is exceptional for an emerald of this character, revealing an intense, saturated green that reads as both vivid and regal, while a clarity grade of slightly included evaluated at eye level speaks to authentic natural formation rather than artificial perfection. Enhancement is standard and responsibly applied to stabilize the gem and enrich its inherent beauty, and the polish is excellent, producing a surface so smooth and lustrous that light meets the stone and returns with a clarity and vigor seldom seen. Origin from Russia further elevates its story, as Russian emeralds are prized for distinctive color nuances and for coming from limited, often historic deposits that produce material of genuine collector interest.

What sets this marquise cabochon apart from faceted or more common stones is the way its internal structure and external form collaborate to create a kind of living light, a sparkle that is not merely reflective but deeply dimensional. Emerald is a variety of beryl with a hexagonal crystal lattice that governs how light travels through it, and the particular interplay of refractive behavior and the internal jardin of natural inclusions yields an optical performance unique to each stone. In this specimen the cabochon dome acts like a lens, gently bending and focusing light so that flashes of green glide through the body of the gem, while the marquise silhouette channels those flashes toward the tapered points, producing a dynamic movement when viewed from different angles. The slightly included clarity contributes positively to this phenomenon, scattering micro reflections that create scintillating micro highlights without disrupting the stone s overall transparency. Excellent polish amplifies every nuance by providing a mirror like interface that allows the internal brilliance to communicate plainly with the eye, and standard enhancement subtly seals and stabilizes surface reaching features so that the polish maintains its mirror quality over time. The result is a jewel that shimmers with an inner fire, a glow that feels both ancient and immediate, and a sparkle that stands apart because it arises from true geological character rather than from heavy faceting or synthetic tricks.

Owning this marquise cabochon is to claim membership in a select circle that appreciates provenance, craftsmanship, and stones that tell stories, and The Natural Emerald Company presents it as a rare availability that will not be restocked once placed into a custom design. This emerald becomes a singular focal point in any bespoke commission, lending itself to sophisticated bezel settings that emphasize the marquise line, to delicate open gallery mounts that allow light to enter and exit freely, or to asymmetric modern creations that celebrate the stone s natural silhouette.
