2.26 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

A cushion shaped green emerald, weighing 2.26 carats, rests like an emerald pool captured in a jewel, its dimensions of 8.48 by 8.34 by 5.11 millimeters speaking to a balanced presence on the finger, the wrist, or held close to the heart. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this transparent gem breathes with internal fire, each facet polished to an excellent finish that allows an intense color intensity to flood the eye. Originating from Zambia, and presented with standard enhancement, the stone retains the honest signature of its birthplace, a deep, lively green that moves from verdant meadows to the darkest forest glades as you tilt it in the light. Slightly included by an eye level clarity assessment, it is not a flaw but a memoir, a map of formation that testifies to natural history and geological eloquence.

Those inclusions are not imperfections, they are identifiers, a private script written in mineral, a jardin that makes this emerald unmistakable and alive, the way a handwritten letter is always known for the hand that wrote it. Delicate wisps of silk trace the interior like wind through reeds, tiny crystalline pinpoints catch the light as distant stars, and faint growth lines curve like riverbeds, each mark telling of pressure and time, of water and mineral whispering together to create color. At The Natural Emerald Company we honor these marks, we celebrate the slight inclusions that give a stone character and provenance, and we invite you to wear a gem that is both a jewel and a story. Imagine this cushion emerald set in a ring for a promise, nested in a pendant for an anniversary, or kept as a talisman to recall a moment of devotion, its intense green a constant reminder of life and love. This is not merely a gem to possess, it is a living fragment of earth, an intimate, luminous companion that will deepen its meaning with every glance.
