2.35 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This 2.35 carat emerald cut emerald from Colombia is a superb example of natural gem quality, measuring 8.72 by 7.63 by 5.36 millimeters, with an emerald cut that emphasizes crisp facets and a broad table. The stone displays vivid color intensity, a highly desirable deep green with a slight bluish undertone that collectors associate with Colombian origin. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means you will observe fine internal features or jardin inclusions under close inspection, yet the stone remains transparent and lively to the face. These characteristic inclusions are a hallmark of natural emeralds, certifying their origin and formation in nature, and they often add character rather than detract from visual appeal. The gem has an excellent polish and very good proportions, with a depth of approximately 65 percent, which contributes to its strong face up presence and optimizes color saturation. Enhancement is disclosed as standard, a widely accepted and routinely practiced treatment that typically involves light oiling to improve clarity and stability, and this treatment is fully disclosed by The Natural Emerald Company.

When comparing this natural Colombian emerald to lab grown alternatives, there are several important distinctions for the educated buyer to consider. Lab grown emeralds offer attractive price points and often present higher apparent clarity and fewer inclusions, however they lack the geological history, natural inclusions, and provenance that confer long term rarity and collector value to natural stones. Natural Colombian emeralds are formed over millions of years under unique geological conditions, and their internal signature and origin are tangible attributes that tend to preserve or increase value over time, particularly for stones with vivid color and classic cuts. In addition, natural emeralds from reputable sources can be accompanied by documentation and traceable sourcing, which The Natural Emerald Company provides to support authenticity and ethical procurement. If you prioritize investment potential, historical provenance, and the singular character that only natural formation can give, this 2.35 carat Colombian emerald is a compelling choice. If you prefer, I can arrange detailed imagery, certification options, and a one on one consultation to review this stone and how it compares to lab grown alternatives in price, aesthetics, and long term value.
