A round-cut Nigerian emerald with a light, slightly bluish-green tone and a notably expressive internal character. The stone contains a rich network of fractures and feathers that fill much of the crystal's interior - this is a heavily included stone with genuine natural charm, and the inclusions create fascinating patterns that are clearly visible within the round outline. The cool, icy tone adds to the stone's quiet elegance.
This stone's character lies in its inclusions - they tell the story of its formation deep within the earth over millions of years. Nigerian origin; standard oil treatment, which helps stabilize and visually enhance the natural jardin. A thoughtful choice for collectors interested in natural internal features, or for settings where the stone's raw, organic nature is celebrated. Sold as a single loose stone.
Natural Nigerian emerald, May birthstone - sold loose.

About emerald
Emerald is the green variety of beryl. It is 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, but almost every emerald has natural fractures, and most are clarity-enhanced with oil or resin, so it is more fragile than its hardness suggests.
Cleaning
Warm water, a drop of mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush are all you need. Brush behind the stone too, where dust and skin oils collect, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth. Skip ultrasonic and steam cleaners: they can drive out the oil or resin most emeralds carry in their fractures, and open the fractures themselves. Keep solvents, alcohol and jewelry cleaners away from it for the same reason.
Wear and storage
A sharp knock against stone or metal can still chip an emerald, most often at the thin edges and points. Store it on its own in a gem jar or a soft pouch: it scratches softer gems, and topaz, sapphire and diamond can scratch it.
For your jeweler
This emerald is clarity-enhanced with oil, as is usual for emerald. Emerald should be kept away from the torch flame, acid pickle and the ultrasonic bath. Re-oiling is a normal service if a fracture becomes more visible over time.
