Description from the seller
This natural emerald from Nigeria is entirely in its rough state and has not undergone any 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:
Type: Natural emerald – a variety of beryl
Origin: Nigeria
Treatment: Natural rough / unpolished
Weight: 11.20 carats
Color: Green, with mint-green to blue-green nuances
Form: Natural rough crystal
Nigeria is a lesser-known but particularly interesting source for emeralds. In particular, material from Central Nigeria can be characterized by a clear, vibrant appearance and fresh mint- to blue-green color nuances. As a result, Nigerian emeralds have a character all of their own compared with 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 highlight the authentic, unprocessed character of the stone.
An attractive collectible for enthusiasts of natural minerals, gemstones, and remarkable African localities. Also interesting for lapidaries or as a study object for possible further processing, depending on the internal structure.
Carefully packaged and securely shipped.
