4.36 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This exquisite gemstone offered by The Natural Emerald Company is a splendid example of a high-quality emerald, originating from the prominent mines of Zambia, known for producing emeralds of exceptional color and clarity. Weighing 4.36 carats, this transparent green emerald is cut into a classic round shape, measuring 10.06 x 9.89 x 8.22 mm. The carefully executed mixed brilliant cut enhances its natural beauty, enabling an optimal play of light and providing the stone with a lively sparkle that captures the eye effortlessly.

The clarity of this emerald is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means it possesses minor inclusions visible only upon close inspection. These natural inclusions are not considered imperfections but rather intrinsic characteristics that authenticate the gemstone’s natural origin. Inclusions in emeralds can take many forms, such as tiny fractures or mineral traces, and they can tell the intricate story of the gemstone's formation over millions of years. In this particular piece, the inclusions are subtle enough not to detract from its aesthetic appeal, thus preserving its vibrant vitality and overall luminosity.

One of the most remarkable attributes of this emerald is its intense color intensity, a defining feature that sets it apart from other emeralds. The deep, rich green hue is evenly distributed throughout the stone, creating a sense of depth and warmth. This color intensity is a significant factor in determining the quality and value of emeralds, and this specimen exhibits a vivid saturation that is both distinct and captivating. The hue is characteristic of Zambian emeralds, which are renowned for their bluish-green tones and clarity that are highly sought after by gem aficionados.

In terms of craftsmanship, this emerald boasts an excellent polish, a testament to the skill and precision of the artisans who shaped it. The high-quality polish ensures that the surface is smooth and free from any abrasiveness, thus enhancing the gemstone’s luster and clarity. Such expert polishing prevents any impediments to the stone’s ability to reflect light, amplifying its brilliance and creating an almost mirror-like finish. At The Natural Emerald Company, we pride ourselves on offering gemstones that are meticulously curated to reflect the highest standards of craftsmanship and beauty, and this emerald is a curatorially selected gemstone reflecting such superior quality.
