2.49 Ct. Emerald from Colombia

This emerald begins its story deep within the earth, where Colombia’s storied green treasures form over millions of years. From the pressure and patience of geological time emerged a transparent, vivid green crystal that would eventually become the gem you see now. Weighing 2.49 carat, shaped into a classic oval, and measured at 10.65 x 8.64 x 5.18 mm, this emerald carries the unmistakable warmth and depth that collectors and connoisseurs associate with Colombian origin. Cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and surface brilliance, the stone displays excellent polish that allows light to walk across its facets with lively sparkle. At The Natural Emerald Company we honor the path from rough to finished gem, and this piece reflects careful selection at every stage, from mine to master cutter, preserving the stone’s natural character while enhancing its wearable beauty.

The hands that fashioned this emerald honored the stone rather than reshaped it beyond recognition. Slight inclusions are present when examined up close, a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and these internal fingerprints tell the story of formation and authenticity. Enhancement has been applied using standard treatment techniques common to fine emeralds, to improve clarity while maintaining the stone’s natural integrity. The vivid color intensity remains the most striking attribute, a saturated green that feels luminous and alive, and the mixed brilliant cut was chosen precisely to balance color distribution and brilliance within the oval outline. This balance between natural structure and human artistry gives the gem a presence that reads as both ancient and modern, rugged in origin and refined in finishing.

Beyond its physical attributes this emerald carries meanings that have resonated through cultures for centuries. Emeralds are traditionally associated with the heart, compassion, and renewal. Worn close to the skin this green stone is believed by many to encourage emotional clarity, to soothe the heart in times of unrest, and to support relationships with deeper empathy and honest communication. In spiritual practice emeralds are linked with the heart chakra, a center for love and balance, and many people report a sense of calm focus and renewed hope when they wear or meditate with emerald. This stone’s vivid Colombian green also evokes abundance and growth, and it is often seen as a talisman for prosperity, creative inspiration, and the courage to pursue meaningful change.

When you consider this 2.49 carat oval emerald you are taking home more than a jewel. You are carrying a fragment of ancient earth, a tradition of Colombian gemcraft, and a subtle tool for emotional and spiritual connection.
