Comment: Intense, open, slightly bluish green Sandawana emerald with a 'no-oil' badge, confirmed origin and 'fine color' attest. Big enough to fill a lady's ring (with color and honor). 'Lightly included' only, which is another rare compliment in the world of emeralds, no spots, or cracks, no window, flawlessly cut and with a sparkly crystal. Quality emerald without compromises except in size but that does not matter here, because visibility in Sandawana emerald is legendary in ANY size, and rightly so, as you can see in the distanced hand-shot under 'more images'. Not under 10k/ct in this rare quality. If you have been looking around, you know un-oiled emeralds are the rarest of all animals in our gem-world, in good quality they are nothing short of a miracle (even if we have more than one in stock, because that is after a decade of often fruitless searching). Here is a chance to make an ultra-precious lady's ring with the rarest of all gemstones, not cheap of course, but within a mortal's budget.
