9.70 Ct. Cabochon Emerald from Zambia

Introducing a striking, transparent 9.70 carat oval emerald that embodies the rare combination of size, color, and craftsmanship that collectors and connoisseurs seek, a gem that arrives to you from the famed deposits of Zambia and carries the natural charm and geological authenticity that The Natural Emerald Company proudly offers. This piece measures 14.44 x 12.35 x 7.63 mm, a generous oval canvas for light to play across its surface, and is fashioned as a cabochon cut to showcase a deep, saturated green that reads as vivid color intensity to the eye. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that preserves transparent beauty while offering the natural inclusions that affirm origin and authenticity. The polish on this gem is excellent, giving a mirror like surface and a smooth, tactile finish, and the enhancement is standard, a conventional treatment that improves stability and appearance without compromising the natural essence or integrity of the stone. Presented by The Natural Emerald Company, this emerald carries the assurance of careful sourcing, meticulous cutting, and professional evaluation, an item that fits seamlessly into high end jewelry, museum quality collections, or as a centerpiece for a bespoke creation.

Visually this Zambian cabochon delivers a rich, resonant green that is immediately noticeable, a tone that balances depth with a lively hue, and that reads as both classic and contemporary depending on its setting. The cabochon shape softens light reflections into large, luminous flashes and internal color zoning becomes a part of the gem s story rather than a distraction, allowing the vivid color intensity to dominate the visual experience. With very slightly included clarity at eye level, the stone retains a high degree of transparency, and pleasing internal character that confirms it as a natural emerald, the kind of inclusions that gem enthusiasts often view as fingerprints of origin. The dimensions 14.44 x 12.35 x 7.63 mm make this stone versatile enough for a statement ring or a striking pendant, while the weight of 9.70 carat provides a presence that feels luxurious without overwhelming a design. The excellent polish enhances wearability and setting options, delivering a smooth dome and consistent finish, and the standard enhancement has been applied in line with industry practices to ensure durability and optimal visual performance.

From a practical and advisory perspective, this emerald is a superb candidate for a center stone in a custom commission, a distinguished heirloom piece, or as a highlight in an elegant jewelry collection, and our jewelers at The Natural Emerald Company can recommend settings that complement the cabochon form, such as a protective bezel for everyday wear or a modern open back mount to allow light to enliven the gem. Care for this emerald should be gentle, avoiding ultrasonic cleaners and harsh chemicals, and routine cleaning with mild soap and lukewarm water will preserve its polish and color, while professional inspections before and after setting will ensure secure mounting and long term stability. For those who value provenance, the Zambian origin speaks to a respected source known for producing vivid, well saturated emeralds, and our team is available to provide further details about the stone s history, cutting process, and handling recommendations.
