Description from the seller

This gem-quality specimen of 1.81 ct represents the essence of emerald variety berly, exhibiting a hexagonal prismatic habit with exceptional elongation and symmetry. The crystal rises with impeccable verticality, displaying lateral prism faces with a vitreous brilliance and a transparency that allows light to transmit in a crystalline way through almost its entire structure. Its saturated, balanced green color is the result of the presence of chromium in the hydrothermal system of its formation, a distinctive hallmark of high-end deposits in Boyacá.
The upper termination presents a basal pinacoid with subtle growth and dissolution marks, imparting an organic character that certifies the absence of mechanical carving or polishing. This piece stands as a highly prestigious specimen due to its rare combination of crystallographic integrity and gem-like clarity.
