3.22 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This extraordinary emerald from Zambia is a true rarity, a specimen that speaks to both connoisseurship and discerning taste, it is a transparent emerald with an emerald cut weighing 3.22 carats, its dimensions are 10.14 by 8.52 by 5.19 millimeters, it displays a vivid color intensity that immediately separates it from the more common green stones you see, its clarity is graded as very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, its polish is excellent, and its enhancement is standard, The Natural Emerald Company is proud to present this single, remarkable gemstone that combines an unusually large carat weight with a depth and purity of green rarely encountered in stones of this size. In a market where larger emeralds often sacrifice hue or clarity, this 3.22 carat emerald maintains a saturated, vivid green across its broad emerald cut table, giving the gem an even, luminous presence that reads both modern and timeless. The measurements of just over ten by eight and a half millimeters make it a substantial centerpiece, a size that elevates it beyond the everyday and into the realm of the exceptional.

What makes this gem exceptional is not merely its size, but the way its color and clarity cohabit without compromise, emeralds of substantial size often show deeper or muddier tones, or more visible inclusions that distract from their color, yet this Zambian emerald retains a bright, vivid green that is remarkably even from facet to facet, its emerald cut has been executed to maximize color and light return, producing a clean, architectural look that allows the vivid green to sit boldly on the finger or in a bespoke setting. Zambian origin contributes to its character, as Zambia is known for producing emeralds with rich, saturated greens and a fine degree of transparency, but finding such vivid intensity and excellent transparency together, in a well cut stone exceeding three carats, is uncommon. The clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level means that to the naked eye this stone reads as exceptionally clear, with only minor internal features visible under magnification, a balance that elevates both brilliance and value. The polish is excellent, which allows the gem to present its color with crisp facet definition and a mirror like finish, and the standard enhancement applied is within accepted trade practices, handled discreetly to preserve the stone integrity while enhancing its natural beauty.
