2.64 Ct. Emerald from Colombia - Muzo

This exceptional emerald arrives to you C.Dunaigre certified, weighing 2.64 carat, and precisely faceted in an asscher octagon shape with measurements of 8.80 x 8.75 x 5.15 mm, an ideal size that balances presence and wearability. The asscher cut highlights the stone geometry, producing a sophisticated interplay of step facets that accentuate color and clarity, and this gem displays vivid green color intensity that immediately commands attention. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning that under normal viewing conditions the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall visual appeal. The polish on this stone is excellent, contributing to crisp, clean facet junctions and a bright surface appearance. Enhancement is standard, consistent with transparent emerald practice, and the origin of this stone is Colombia, Muzo, a source renowned for producing some of the finest emeralds in the world. At The Natural Emerald Company we include the full certificate details with every purchase, so an educated buyer can review the exact grading, measurements, and treatment notes that accompany this rare and beautiful gem.

From a gemological perspective, several features make this Muzo emerald noteworthy to a connoisseur. The asscher octagon cut is particularly flattering for emeralds with strong color, because the step facet arrangement emphasizes depth of hue and the stone delivers broad flashes of saturated green across the crown. Vivid color intensity is one of the most important drivers of value in emeralds, and in this instance the saturation is balanced with a medium deep tone that reads as lively and pure without appearing overly dark. The very slightly included clarity grade, assessed at eye level, tells a knowledgeable buyer that the inclusions are present but limited in size and location, maintaining transparency and light performance. Standard enhancement in emeralds typically involves minor clarity enhancements that do not obscure the natural origin of the stone, and when disclosed and documented, such treatment is an accepted and expected part of emerald commerce, especially for stones of genuine Colombian origin. The Muzo provenance itself adds provenance premium, because Muzo emeralds are historically associated with exceptional color and a certain velvety richness that collectors prize.

For the educated buyer considering this piece as both an objet d art and a long term asset, several points deserve emphasis. Rarity is a function of color, clarity, cut, and origin, and this stone aligns strongly across those axes. A 2.64 carat emerald with vivid color and very slight inclusions from Muzo is uncommon, especially when presented in a precise asscher octagon cut that conserves carat weight while optimizing face up color. The asscher faceting pattern also favors stones that are relatively free of large inclusions, because the open step facets call attention to internal characteristics, therefore the fact that this gem presents with excellent polish and only very slight inclusions is a positive indicator of its natural quality. From an investment standpoint, stones with documented origin and certification tend to retain value more reliably, because future buyers and appraisers can trace provenance and treatment history. In practical terms the dimensions of this stone make it versatile for a range of settings, from a classic solitaire ring to an elegant pendant, and the excellent polish will allow the piece to sparkle when set and worn, reflecting light with clarity and depth.

Beyond its technical merits, this emerald carries a romantic story that is woven into its very color and clarity, a story appropriate for a gift that marks a life change or a private anniversary. Imagine a garden at dawn where the first light passes through dew on leaves, turning ordinary green into a hue that seems to glow from within, a green so vivid and honest that it speaks of renewal and fidelity. That is the green of this Muzo stone, a color formed over geological millennia, concentrated and refined into a single facet that catches the eye and holds the heart. The very slightly included clarity becomes part of the romance, because those subtle internal gardens, often called jardin by emerald lovers, are reminders of the gem s natural journey, tiny signatures that make each stone uniquely human in character. When given as a token of a promise, this emerald tells a story of enduring growth and transparency, it is a symbol of love that is vivid but real, brilliant yet genuine, a green that promises continuity and depth over time. At The Natural Emerald Company we understand how to pair such a gem with a setting that honors that narrative, and we are available to discuss custom mounting options that preserve the stone s proportions and celebrate its color and clarity.
