Description from the seller

This natural emerald from Nigeria is completely in rough condition and has undergone no cutting or polishing. The crystal displays the fresh green color for which Nigerian emeralds are loved, often with appealing nuances of mint green to light blue-green.

Specifications:
Species: Natural emerald – variety of beryl
Origin: Nigeria
Processing: Natural rough / uncut
Weight: 15.60 carats / 3.12 grams

Color: Green, with mint-green to blue-green nuances
Shape: 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 clear, vivid appearance and fresh mint- to blue-green color nuances. This gives Nigerian emeralds a completely own character compared to the generally 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, unprocessed character of the stone.

An attractive collectible for natural mineral, gemstone, and special African locality enthusiasts. Also interesting for lapidarists or as a study object for potential further processing, depending on the internal structure.

Carefully packed and safely shipped.
