1 pcs Green Emerald - 3.44 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI) - Zambian Emerald

This 3.44 carat green emerald is certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) and is noted as a Zambian emerald, indicating its geographic origin. Zambia is a significant source of high-quality emeralds, producing gems with a deep green color often with a slightly bluish tint, setting them apart from Colombian counterparts. Emeralds are a variety of beryl colored by chromium or vanadium, prized for their vibrant green hue. Their formation occurs in hydrothermal veins within metamorphic rocks, which results in unique inclusions often called 'jardin.' Certification from IGI ensures that the emerald's properties, such as carat weight, color, and clarity, are accurately evaluated. Zambian emeralds have gained popularity for their durability and rich colors, making them highly sought after in fine jewelry.
