Description from the seller
This natural emerald from Nigeria is in a completely rough state and has not undergone any cutting or polishing. The crystal shows the fresh green color for which Nigerian emeralds are loved, often with appealing nuances from mint green to light blue-green.
Specifications:
Type: Natural emerald – variety of beryl
Origin: Nigeria
Treatment: Natural rough / uncut
Weight: 18.65 carats / 3.75 grams
Color: Green, with mint-green to blue-green nuances
Form: Natural rough crystal
Nigeria is a lesser-known but particularly interesting origin for emeralds. In particular material from Central Nigeria can be characterized by a bright, vibrant appearance and fresh mint- to blue-green color nuances. This gives Nigerian emeralds a distinctly own character compared to the typically deeper green emeralds from more well-known localities.
The natural inclusions, growth lines, and any color zoning tell the story of the crystal's geological formation. These features make each specimen unique and emphasize the authentic, unpolished character of the stone.
An attractive collector’s item for enthusiasts of natural minerals, gemstones and exceptional African localities. Also interesting for lapidaries or as a study object for possible further processing, depending on the internal structure.
Carefully packed and securely shipped.
