2.47 ct. Cabochon Cut Emerald
This Emerald is from Columbia
This is a very bright
stone and is very transparent as you can see in the photos, all sides including the bottom are
polished. When choosing an emerald, the most important value factor to consider is color.
The more vivid and saturated the green, the more valuable the emerald is ( Bluish Green is typical of the Muzo and Chivor Mines of Columbia).
Columbian emeralds are
known worldwide to be industry leaders with the highest standards of
quality. Some of the rarest and most expensive emeralds in the world come
from such Columbian mines as Muzo and Chivor.

"The
Beautiful Garden"
Emerald Clarity
In contrast to other Beryl gemstones, Emerald is typically
heavily flawed with cracks and inclusions of fluid and minerals. These
inclusions are called "jardin" (or garden) as they typically resemble
leaves and branches. These characteristics are not looked upon as negative
aspects for emerald as they would be for other gemstones. Instead, these
inclusions are considered part of the character of the stone and are used to
assure the purchaser that the stone is genuine. Because emeralds are so rare
without inclusions some inclusions are expected and do not detract from the
value of the stone as much as with other gemstones. Most emeralds on the market
today have been treated with various types of oil or resin to improve their
appearance.
Some gemstones that normally
are not found clean are: Emerald, Red Beryl & Rubellite Tourmaline. These
kind of gemstones are considered to be Type III.
Type Descriptions:
Type I :Usually eye clean and very high clarity under
magnification
Type II :Usually eye clean with some inclusions under
magnification
Type
III is: Usually eye visible
inclusions
Please note that the pictures of the
stone are enlarged by 15x - 25x to show you the details of this stone. Appraised and graded by a certified
gemologist this stone would be examined under a microscope or gem loupe at
10x. Although if the examinations purpose was to distinguish between the
Chivor and the Muzo mine, it would require higher magnification. To the
naked eye the stone is much cleaner than what it may appear to be.
Below you will find a
representation of the GIA's (Gemological Institute of America) Clarity
grading scale.
Please keep in mind
that these photos are taken at high magnification and are being shown much
larger that actual size.
