6.29 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

From the heart of Zambia to the refined light of a display case, this emerald tells a story that we at The Natural Emerald Company are proud to share, a story that begins in ancient mineral veins and ends as a jewel of striking presence. Formed over millions of years under conditions of pressure and hydrothermal activity, this transparent green emerald was carefully extracted from Zambian terrain where collectors and miners respect both the land and the gem. C.Dunaigre certified, this 6.29 carat, emerald cut stone was handed to master cutters who shaped its 13.93 by 10.44 by 6.22 millimeter proportions to maximize the vivid color intensity and the play of light within. The result is an exceptional rectangular emerald cut, excellent polish, and a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a balance that preserves the gem s natural character while offering impressive transparency and brilliance.

As gem specialists we also want to help you understand durability, so you can choose settings and uses that will keep this treasure secure for years. Emeralds sit at approximately 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale of hardness, harder than many common gemstones but softer than corundum family stones such as sapphire at 9, and far below diamond at 10. That means this Zambian emerald is durable enough for fine jewelry including rings, yet it benefits from thoughtful protection because natural inclusions sometimes act as planes of weakness under hard knocks. The stone has received standard enhancement commonly employed in the trade, and this work, combined with an excellent polish, brings forward the gem s intense green without compromising its authenticity, as confirmed by C.Dunaigre certification. For everyday wear we recommend protective settings such as a bezel or a halo with secure prongs, and routine gentle care to preserve shine. When you choose this emerald from The Natural Emerald Company you take home not just a gemstone, but a story of earth and craft, an heirloom quality piece ready to become part of your own narrative.
