2.18 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

At The Natural Emerald Company we present an exceptionally rare Colombian treasure, a beautiful transparent 2.18 carat emerald, an emerald cut shape green emerald that measures 8.65 x 7.53 x 5.34 mm. This gem carries a clarity grade described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and it radiates a vivid color intensity that is immediately arresting. The proportions and precision of the emerald cut allow the pure green to unfurl across step facets with measured elegance, and the excellent polish gives every plane a satiny mirror that catches light with quiet authority. Enhancement is standard, a traditional and accepted treatment that stabilizes and deepens the stone while preserving its natural character. Origin is Colombia, and the provenance is part of what makes this specimen so sought after, because Colombian emeralds have long stood at the pinnacle of gem rarity and desirability.

Imagine the story that led to this single crystal, a tale written deep within the Earth over millions of years ago. In the slow, inexorable theater of plate tectonics, ancient seabeds were folded and uplifted, and mineral rich fluids began to migrate through fractures and limestones. In a rare alignment of chemistry and pressure, beryllium met chromium and vanadium in the sheltered confines of a hydrothermal vein, and where temperature and time held steady, emerald crystals were born. This particular crystal grew slowly, each plane laid down layer by patient layer, forming the classic step facets nature would one day reveal. For millennia it slept, cocooned in host rock, shielded from the elements and from the casual gaze of men, until a precise moment of discovery when miners and geologists uncovered a fragment of that ancient story. What you hold in your hands is not merely a gemstone, it is a condensed chronicle of geological epochs, a green light that began when continents were still finding their modern shape.

Because each Colombian emerald is the outcome of such improbable circumstances, examples of this caliber are rare, and the 2.18 carat weight combined with these exact dimensions and visual qualities creates a level of exclusivity that only a few can claim. The emerald cut further elevates its stature, offering a sophisticated, architectural silhouette that flatters the stone while inviting the eye to trace each broad facet. The vivid color intensity is the soul of the gem, a saturated, pure green that will remain the defining feature when set in metal and worn, while the very slightly included clarity lends authenticity and character under close inspection, confirming that this is a natural creation and not an engineered imitation. The excellent polish and the precision of the cut are the final notes in this composition, ensuring maximum color performance and a tactile finish that is fitting for a piece destined to become part of a discerning collection. Ownership of this emerald places you in a rarefied group, a select circle of custodians entrusted with an object of geological fortune and human craft.

We present this emerald as more than a single jewel, it is an invitation to join an elite few who appreciate the convergence of natural rarity and refined artistry. The Natural Emerald Company will provide a detailed assessment of the stone, documenting its weight, dimensions, clarity as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, excellent polish, and standard enhancement, along with notes on its Colombian origin.
