Natural Emerald from Nigeria 0.82ct 6.3x5mm Oval Cut

A lively oval-cut Nigerian emerald with a warm, bright green that photographs generously under macro. The oval faceting gives the stone a generous spread and reflective flashes dance across the crown. Natural growth feathers and silky inclusions are visible within - part of the authentic jardin that makes each emerald unique - while the overall tone remains vivid and engaging with a pleasant, slightly yellow-green warmth typical of West African production.

Nigerian emeralds from the Kaduna State have gained a strong following among collectors for their warm character, which differs from the cooler Zambian or Colombian tones. This stone has been oiled, the industry-standard treatment for emeralds. Well suited to a solitaire ring, pendant or earring drop setting. Sold loose as a single piece.
