At first glance, its surface appears calm and compact, yet when direct light meets the stone, it awakens entirely, flooding the interior with a deep, saturated emerald green. The light does not die within the crystal; instead, it travels through it, illuminating the body from edge to core and confirming a quality that goes well beyond average opaque material. The colour is dense, rich and confidently emerald, with no dullness or blackened interior. Under illumination, the stone responds evenly, glowing with a cohesive green energy that speaks of good internal structure and balanced chromatic distribution. Its form feels solid and grounded, while the surface remains remarkably clean, almost free of surface deposits, allowing the colour to dominate without distraction. This is an emerald that does not rely on fragility or transparency to impress. Its strength lies in saturation, integrity and the way it reacts to light, offering a bold, honest expression of emerald green. A specimen chosen not for delicacy, but for presence, stability and visual confidence.

Lapidary Potential: While already visually compelling in its natural state, this emerald offers potential for selective shaping or cabochon style work, preserving colour density while enhancing surface flow.
