Description from the seller

This natural emerald from Nigeria is completely in its rough state and has undergone no cutting or polishing. The crystal displays 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/Processing: Naturally rough / unpolished
Weight: 8.75 carats

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

Nigeria is a less known but particularly interesting origin 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 distinct 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, unprocessed character of the stone.

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

Carefully packed and safely shipped.
