Description from the seller

This natural emerald from Nigeria is in completely rough condition and has not undergone any cutting or polishing. The crystal exhibits the fresh green color for which Nigerian emeralds are prized, often with appealing nuances from mint green to light blue-green.

Specifications:
Type: Natural emerald – variety of beryl
Origin: Nigeria
Cut: Natural rough / unpolished
Weight: 8.05 carats

Color: Green, with mint-green to blue-green nuances
Shape: Natural rough crystal

Nigeria is a less well-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. This gives Nigerian emeralds a distinctive character 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, unaltered character of the stone.

An attractive collectible for enthusiasts of natural minerals, gemstones, and unusual African localities. Also interesting for lapidaries or as a study object for potential further processing, depending on the internal structure.

Carefully packaged and securely shipped.
