Description

Unusual shape, highly sought after old stock untreated emerald.

I contacted an Emerald supplier out of Bogata to discuss pricing on this heirloom stone (local old family acquisition, unset from a Victorian pendant & then the young lady who inherited the piece decided she wanted to sell it; the pendant was well over 100 yrs old). I know, heart breaking

Anyhow, the dealer of high quality rough and cut material who I contacted offered me $1400, but said I should ask double that figure...I figured that if I could ensure this treasure to a loving home with one of my friends, I'd much rather see it well placed than priced according to its quality

Color is true to a top tier emerald...even at its modest size of 6.94x5.18x3.91mm, the hue is deep and lustrous. Under magnification you can detect a few tiny surface reaching fissures...being that it is untreated, they're very insignificant and pose no structural issues as the stone is well built around the edges.

My pix cannot do justice to this stone...this little rectangular beauty is a rare artifacts a bygone era; with a color that is rarely seen in untreated stones of this size.

As always; shoot he an email for any further questions or to talk design options.
