Emerald (not from Colombia)

Item Description

Most people associate Emeralds with the famous stones from Colombia, but the Bahia state of Brazil has produced some excellent Emeralds in terms of color. This stone is a beautiful, lovely green color, "Oval Cabochon" cut gem from this lesser known locality for the material. It's a unique locality gem and the color is honestly a bit better than the photo/video indicates, as Emerald is one of the most difficult gems in the world to reproduce the color. Emerald is classified as a type-3 gemstone which means that inclusions in the stones are acceptable in the trade for collectors and dealers. With that said, it is very difficult to find a "clean" Emerald that is over a carat. This stone has translucent clarity, and it's a very attractive example of these uncommon stones from Bahia. Keep in mind that Emeralds cannot be held to the same clarity standard to which most stones are held.
