No reserve price Emerald - 2.38 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI)

Emerald is one of the four precious gemstones, renowned for its rich, vibrant green color caused by trace amounts of chromium and vanadium. Part of the beryl mineral family, emeralds have been treasured since antiquity for their striking color and symbolic associations with regeneration and rebirth. Typically formed in hydrothermal veins, emeralds often contain characteristic inclusions known as 'jardin' which give each stone a unique internal landscape. Weighing 2.38 carats, this emerald falls within a desirable size range for fine jewelry. Emeralds are graded based on color intensity, clarity, and cut, with deeper green hues and fewer inclusions being especially prized. Due to their natural inclusions, treatments such as oiling are common to enhance clarity, a traditional practice in emerald preparation.
