Natural Emerald From Columbia .40CT 

global benchmark for excellence, prized for their vivid, pure green color driven by trace elements of chromium and vanadium, combined with minimal iron. Found in unique sedimentary black shale deposits, these gems feature soft, organic internal inclusions known as jardin (garden). 

 

Key Characteristics

 

  • Color: Rich, saturated green, often with a subtle bluish undertone. The most famous mining regions are Muzo (deep, warm greens) and Chivor (bluish-greens).
  • Inclusions: Because they are Type III gemstones, flawless stones are incredibly rare. The garden-like internal inclusions are widely expected and accepted as part of their natural identity. 
  • Rarity: Colombia is the only place globally that produces Trapiche emeralds, which feature a unique, natural six-ray star pattern. 

Purchasing & Certification

 

  • Treatments: Most emeralds undergo minor oiling or resin treatments to fill surface-reaching fractures and improve clarity. Stones with no or only minor oiling command the highest premiums. 
  • Verification: Always request a gemological report (such as from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or Gübelin Gem Lab) to certify the origin, exact carat weight, and disclosure of any treatments
