Item Description
A classic, outstanding emerald specimen from the famous old emerald mines of the Ural Mountains of Russia. This aesthetically set in biotite schist, sharply terminated, 1.9 x 1.6 x 1.2 cm crystal, is beautifully accented by the smaller emeralds. It has excellent, rich green color saturation and gemminess, which is exceptional for the locality. The bit of edge wear to the emerald is a very modest detraction, for such a fine old-timer. Ex Ed Bancroft Collection and valued at $1500-1750 for quality, rarity and classic location.
