2.20 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

From the moment this transparent Zambian emerald was unearthed in rich river gravels, its story set it apart from ordinary stones, and The Natural Emerald Company shepherded it from mine to market with care and expertise. Miners first noticed the vivid green flash, and the rough was selected for its depth of color and crystal clarity. At our cutting studio we chose a faceted mixed brilliant approach to maximize light return and preserve weight, shaping it into a perfect heart to emphasize romance and symmetry. The finished gem weighs 2.20 carat, and measures 9.54 by 9.00 by 5.01 mm, with a clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, vivid color intensity, excellent polish, and standard enhancement for long term stability. Every step was documented by our gem specialists, from rough inspection to the final polish, ensuring transparency, provenance, and the superior finish you see in the images.

Compared to other emeralds on the market this heart shaped treasure offers exceptional value, because it combines true transparency with vivid Zambian color and an expert mixed brilliant faceted cut that other sellers rarely achieve for this price range. Many emeralds are heavily included or over enhanced to hide imperfections, and some are cut to sacrifice color for size, but this stone balances weight, depth of color, and clarity in a way that elevates finished jewelry. The excellent polish amplifies brilliance and makes the heart shape read cleanly at the table, which is a rare trait in natural emeralds of this size. For buyers who want a unique engagement gem, a statement ring, or a collector piece, this emerald provides superior visual impact and ethical sourcing compared to mass market alternatives. If you appreciate a gemstone with documented origin, careful cutting, and a bright vivid presence, this 2.20 carat Zambian heart from The Natural Emerald Company is a standout choice that outperforms typical options in quality, value, and lasting beauty.
