Description

In 2016 there was a new discovery of emeralds near Shakiso, Ethiopia.  While some minor finds of emeralds have been made in Ethiopia in recent years, this find seems to have produced a bit more than the previous ones and some rough gem material made it to market at the Tucson shows in February of 2017, where this piece was acquired.  More on this find can be seen in this brief published by GIA: https://www.gia.edu/gems-gemology/spring-2017-gemnews-new-discovery-emeralds-ethiopia.  The color is an intense medium-light toned green with a slightly bluish hue–it reminds me of the emeralds of Muzo or Chivor in Colombia. It has not been oiled or treated by me in any way whatsoever.

This gem is faceted in our custom “Aurora” square cushion design, optimized for emerald.  The gem is extremely bright and lively in the hand.  The tone is a vibrant medium-light green that practically glows.  Like nearly all emeralds, it has a moderate amount of inclusions or “jardin,” although they are far less visible in person than the macro photos imply.  The gem weighs 0.74 carats and measures 5.5 x 4.0 mm.

Video Request

Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.

Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color.  Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
