7.23 Ct. Emerald from Zambia

This transparent 7.23 carat cushion shape green emerald from Zambia presents dimensions of 14.85 by 9.31 by 7.24 mm, a mixed brilliant faceted cutting style, and an intense color intensity with excellent polish, attributes that immediately mark it as a collector quality stone offered by The Natural Emerald Company. The combination of transparency and intense color is a key value driver in emeralds, because a vivid, evenly distributed green that remains transparent at this scale is less common and therefore prized by educated buyers. The clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicates the presence of natural inclusions which are typical for emeralds and which do not materially diminish the gem's visual appeal when set and viewed in hand. The mixed brilliant approach to cutting provides a lively interplay of light and depth, using a brilliant crown to enhance scintillation while maintaining step facets that emphasize the stones color saturation and overall depth, and the excellent polish ensures strong facet definition and surface luster.

At 7.23 carats and the given proportions this cushion emerald is ideal for a statement ring or a bold pendant, because its length and width provide significant face up presence while the 7.24 mm depth supports strong internal light return. Slightly included clarity at eye level is a favorable trade off when combined with this degree of transparency and intense color, because the inclusions serve as proof of natural origin and do not substantially interrupt the gem s brilliance when properly set and finished. Enhancement is standard, which indicates commonly applied, fully disclosed stabilization treatments such as oiling or resin filling used to improve appearance and durability. Origin from Zambia further enhances market appeal, as Zambian emeralds are known for their pure to slightly bluish green tones and robust saturation, traits that respond well to mixed brilliant cutting. For the buyer seeking an unmistakable single stone centerpiece with natural character and museum quality attributes, this emerald represents a rare alignment of size, color, and clarity, and The Natural Emerald Company stands ready to provide detailed documentation and bespoke setting recommendations to maximize both aesthetic impact and long term value.
