DESCRIPTION:

Awesome Pastel Chrome Green Nigerian "Emerald" Crystal Faceting Rough! We have not been able to offer this material in ages and were lucky to come across this parcel. This is some of the cleanest material we have procured to date and we estimate the parcel is running  90%+ High to Top Facet Grade. The lot is composed almost entirely of crystals and crystal sections with many having terminated tips and excellent luster.

The rough is averaging 2.5+ carats and we are confident you will take out a spectacular finished gem from practically every stone in this lot with a little hard work. We do NOT anticipate on getting similar material again in the near future and only have a small amount on hand! It is really difficult to find Rough over a few carats in this material that is this clean!

Please Note: We ran this material under our Chelsea Filter and it did NOT turn Red or Pink and this is generally indicative of little or limited Chromium. This is in line with our past experience with the material; however, the color banding evident on this and the inherent inclusions in some of the rough clearly sets the material out as being "Emerald."

COOL FACTS:
  1. Nigeria is known to produce "Emerald" though designating the material Emerald has been hotly debated. Most of the Nigerian material tends to be a light Minty Green in color and the material is commonly referred to as Chrome Beryl in the US.
