2.55 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

Long before humans walked the earth, deep beneath what is now Zambia, intense geological forces were at work. It was here, approximately 500 million years ago, that a particularly striking emerald began its journey. In a dance of tectonic activity, minerals beneath the craggy landscape were infused with the vital elements of beryl and chromium. This combination, forged under the immense pressure and heat of the earth, would grow to define its vivid green hue and remarkable clarity. Over centuries, the lands shifted. Rain, wind, and time gradually unveiled bits of treasure buried deep within their heart, whispering promises of beauty and history yet discovered.
