Emerald (rough and cut set)

Item Description

Emerald is one of the most desirable gems in the world, and good crystals are hard to find from any locality. This set features a crytal from Muzo, Colombia and a faceted stone from Bahia, Brazil. The crystal is a fine, sharp, lustrous, translucent, hexagonal prism with a medium green color. The crystal is contacted on the back, but it's in good shape on the front side. The gem is a typical "Emerald" cut stone with a vibrant, rich green hue and only very slight inclusions. The clarity of the stone is great becuase Emerald is classified as a Type-III gemstone, which means that inclusions are almost always present, so when you find a stone like this with only minimal inclusions, it's significant. Keep in mind that the inclusions are much more pronounced on your screen than they are in person. A good quality rough and cut of this well known variety of Beryl. Valued at $700.
