About Zambian Emeralds
While Colombian and Brazilian emeralds are much sought-after, Zambian emeralds have captured a large portion of the emerald market in recent years because of their fabulously rich, deep uniform colour. Zambian Emeralds have relatively few of the inclusions common to the emerald, and are also less porous and brittle than other varieties. These emeralds retain their magnificent hues even in small stones that are less than 0.5 carats, for maximum appeal no matter what their size.
About Emeralds
Regarded as a holy gemstone among the Incas and Aztecs of South America, emeralds have a fascinating history. Said to promise good luck and enhance well being, these popular gems are proudly displayed in jewellery pieces and religious icons alike. One of the world's largest emeralds is the "Mogul Emerald". Dating back to 1695 and weighing a hefty 217.80 carats, this gorgeous stone is inscribed with prayer texts and engraved with floral ornaments. A legend in its own right, this gemstone was auctioned by Christie's of London to an unidentified buyer for 2.2m US dollars on September 28, 2001.
A unique gemstone due to its luminosity, the emerald is still of a high value even with inclusions. The value lies in the bright colour of the stone. A rich, deep green emerald is worth more with inclusions than a flawless emerald whose colour is paler. Interestingly enough, specialists call the stones with many inclusions, cracks and fissures "jardin" after the French for "garden"
