Emerald (green beryl) is one of the most highly prized of all gems and good quality gems are extremely difficult to source. A flawless, clear emerald is very rare and is usually found only in very small sizes.
Nearly all pictures of emerald do not do justice to the gem (as is the case here). In 99.9 % of the cases, the actual gem is more beautiful than the pictures capture.
The name Emerald is from the Greek "smaragdos" (green stone), to Middle English "esmeralde." Good quality emerald has the color of fresh young green grass. Its green coloring is due to microscopic traces of chromium or vanadium replacing the aluminum in the beryl structure.
¿Although emerald itself is not classed as rare in gemological tables, the large majority are I (included), SI ( Small inclusion/s), or VSI (Very small inclusions). It is the VVS (Very very small inclusions) classification that makes this emerald special, coupled with it's size (1.04 Ct and 1.5cm long)
This gem is a collectors/investors item and the conservative Web/internet based shop value is R3,000 - you would pay more at a retail jeweler.
