Comment: Newly permitted into our stock: Oiled emeralds. (Please read here if you want to know why.) This 0.52, almost square, emerald-cut in a rich vivid green with lens-only inclusions. As all Sandawana (origin confirmed by IGI), size is of no matter for color depth and strength (most gems go 'humph' colorwise, in small sizes, some NOT and those are a wonder, Hauyne, too, a blast! None here corrently). Half a carat is as intense green as 2 carat, or 2 points for that matter. Visible only on our 36fold magnified warts-and-all images: lightly included with pretty silver snow-flake crystals. Near 5x5mm it will fill a ring up to size 7, with a halo of diamonds even more. High-end famous emerald in classic cut and rare square shape. One slightly askew corner which the eye doesn't notice and a setting will hide. Get one while you can. These gems are long sold-out legends. Color, Color. Color.
