Catalogue Essay
For gemstone connoisseurs, no other emerald deposit in the world can rival the fine quality of Colombian emeralds, which exhibit a richly saturated and homogenous slightly bluish green colour. Due to the delicate balance from their formation, Colombian emeralds always show a variety of natural inclusions which are referred poetically as “jardin” by connoisseurs, as they are forgiven for their beautiful radiant green colour. The present lot is a rare specimen of Colombian emerald weighing over 8 carats, possessing a vibrant green colour and crystalline clarity with high degree of transparency, but no indication of clarity enhancement.
