2.40 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This transparent 2.40 carat round green emerald from Colombia, with dimensions of 9.50 by 9.44 by 5.38 mm, is a striking example of what careful cutting and natural color can achieve. Cut in a mixed brilliant style the stone combines the depth and color saturation that only a Colombian emerald can offer, with the lively faceting typically associated with diamonds. The vivid color intensity and excellent polish amplify light return and create a lively, scintillating presence that is rare among green gemstones of this size. The clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural emerald characteristics, and the enhancement is standard, preserving the gem’s natural beauty while improving durability and visual appeal. Compared to more common gemstones like commercial green tourmaline or chrome diopside, this emerald offers a richer, more saturated hue and a more refined facet structure. Compared to sapphires and diamonds, which rely heavily on brilliance and dispersion, this emerald stands out for its depth of color and the way the mixed brilliant cut balances color saturation with lively surface sparkle, producing a green that reads as both vivid and elegant in direct and diffuse light.

For buyers seeking a centerpiece stone that combines rarity, character, and strong presence, this Colombian emerald from The Natural Emerald Company represents exceptional value and uniqueness. Colombian emeralds are prized for their pure, vibrant greens and fine transparency, and a transparent, well polished 2.40 carat round specimen with mixed brilliant faceting is uncommon on the market. The slightly included clarity is typical and often preferred by connoisseurs who value natural origin and authenticity over laboratory perfection. When set, the gem projects color and life that often surpasses similarly sized colored stones in perceived size and visual impact, making it ideal for solitaire rings, bespoke settings, and heirloom pieces. In short, this emerald offers a rare combination of vivid Colombian color, skilled mixed brilliant cutting, and excellent polish, delivering a truly distinguished look that stands apart from more ordinary market options. For collectors and clients who prioritize natural origin, color intensity, and wearable brilliance, this stone is a compelling choice.
