Description from the seller
This natural emerald from Nigeria is entirely in its rough state and has undergone no cutting or polishing. The crystal displays the fresh green color for which Nigerian emeralds are loved, often with appealing nuances from mint green to light bluish-green.
Specifications:
Type: Natural emerald – variety of beryl
Origin: Nigeria
Processing: Natural rough / unpolished
Weight: 13.15 carats
Color: Green, with mint-green to bluish-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 bluish-green nuances. This gives Nigerian emeralds a wholly distinctive character compared to the usually 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, unworked character of the stone.
An attractive collectible for enthusiasts of natural minerals, gemstones, and notable African localities. Also of interest to lapidaries or as a study object for possible further processing, depending on the internal structure.
It will be carefully packed and shipped securely.
