Product Description for 2.80ct Emerald Cut Colombian Emerald, Measures 9.09x8.37x5.90mm. With Appraisal.
As a discriminating collector, when you think of emeralds, you think of Colombia. When you think of Colombian emeralds, a discriminating collector "in the know" would think of the Muzo and Cosquez mines in Colombia, the most renowned emerald mines in the world. This beauty was mined there. But what makes a Colombian emerald so special? These emeralds have a transparency and color like no other emeralds on Earth, making them highly sought after by collectors and even members of royalty throughout history. Emeralds are a type III gemstone, meaning that they commonly have clarity characteristics (romantically known in the trade as "jardin"), but Colombian emeralds are typically the cleanest of all emeralds. This beautiful emerald has the bright rich color, unusual clarity, and excellent cut worthy of its esteemed "Colombian emerald" pedigree.
