0.78 ct Green Emerald - Oval

At 0.78 carats, this emerald from Zambia carries its green color through an oval cut, measuring 7 x 5.1 x 3.6 mm.

Emerald is the green beryl, colored by chromium, and nearly always carries the internal garden of inclusions that proves it grew in the earth rather than a lab. Zambian emerald forms with more iron in the chemistry, so the green cools a step toward blue and the crystal often grows a grade cleaner; Kafubu is the modern counterweight to Colombia. Clarity is finished with the oiling the trade has long used for this family, disclosed here as on every listing.

Its exact combination of color, cut, and origin is its own, the kind of center stone you choose on purpose and build a piece around. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
