1.44 ct Green Emerald - Oval

At 1.44 carats, this emerald from Ethiopia carries its green color through an oval cut, measuring 8.6 x 6.4 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. Ethiopian emerald is the newest source of consequence, vivid and often clean, still building its reputation deposit by deposit. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
