Catalogue Essay
Emeralds were first discovered in Ethiopia in 2016. Yet, most of the stones are heavily-included and below 3 carats in size. Rich in chromium, gem-quality Ethiopian emeralds exhibit a bright and saturated green with a hint of blue, a colour surpassing that of Brazilian and Zambian specimens, and could rival that of Colombian stones. Gem-quality Ethiopian emeralds gradually drew attention of worldwide collectors. Offered here is a nice example of Ethiopian emeralds, without any clarity modification, each weighing over 4 carats and possessing a lovely green hue.
