0.99 ct Green Emerald - Pear

At 0.99 carats, this emerald from Afghanistan carries its green color through a pear cut, measuring 6.8 x 5.5 x 4.0 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. Panjshir emerald is the quiet contender, capable of a saturated green that reads Colombian, worked out of a remote valley in small and irregular lots. It carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
