AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

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

Specifications:
Type: Natural emerald – beryl variety
Origin: Nigeria
Cut: Natural rough / uncut
Weight: 8.95 carats

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

Nigeria is a less well-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 very distinctive character compared to the typically deeper green emeralds from more well-known sources.

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, uncut character of the stone.

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

Carefully packaged and securely shipped.
