Geographic Origin:
Kagem Mines - Zambia

Treatments:
Indications of minor clarity enhancement with oil

Gemologist's Comments on Treatments:
As a business policy, we don't stock heated, treated, or enhanced gemstones. However, emeralds invariably come into contact with oil during their life, from mining to cutting/polishing to selling. This is because oil is commonly used as a lubricant for cleaning/storing rough emeralds and facilitating the cutting/polishing process.

Also, due to their natural growth conditions and recovery methods, almost all emeralds contain surface-reaching features. Therefore, the oil may seep into these features even when not intended as a treatment.

For this reason, clarity enhancement - particularly with oil - is a common and widely accepted trade practice for emeralds.

Indications of "minor" clarity enhancement with oil are observed in this particular emerald.

Color Award:
Spring Green

Transparency:
Transparent

Clarity Grade:
Slightly Included

Clarity Grade Description:
Inclusions are slightly visible at eye view

Gemologist's Comments on Clarity:
Due to their natural growth conditions and recovery methods, emeralds commonly have features such as growth tubes, fingerprint inclusions, fissures, and other microscopic inclusions that may affect the transmission of light to a certain extent. For this reason, despite being fully transparent, emeralds may not show luster & scintillation as prominently as other gemstones unless they are exceptionally clean and free of inclusions.

Vibrant Brilliancy:
This gemstone exhibits a brilliancy that is classified as "vibrant." Vibrant brilliancy results from a combination of factors such as skillful cutting, excellent clarity, even color distribution, and a very low degree of extinction.
