Loose Emerald Appraisal

Certified Genuine Authentic Emerald (Loose Gemstone)

This item is a certified genuine authentic emerald, presented as a loose gemstone within a circular, clear plastic display case, which is then enclosed in a clear plastic bag or sleeve. The emerald itself appears to be a square or cushion-cut gemstone with a distinct green hue. It is centrally positioned against a white or light-colored background material inside the small circular case, enhancing its visibility. The entire package is accompanied by a white paper label providing certification details. The label prominently states 'Genuine Authentic Emerald' and indicates it was 'Certified by L.O.T. G.A.', likely an abbreviation for Latamco Gem Appraisers, whose full address (P.O. Box 430, Nelson, B.C. V1L 5P4) is also printed. A 'SUGGESTED LIST' price of '$800' is handwritten, along with a 'LOT #' identified as '10' and a 'CODE #' as 'EM10'. The weight is partially visible as 'WT: 3.3V ct.' or similar. The clear plastic bag enclosing the display case shows some wear, including a jagged tear or hole on the left side, suggesting handling or age. The primary enclosure for the emerald, the small round case, appears intact. The gemstone's clarity and exact measurements are not discernible from the image, but its square cut and vibrant green color are evident. The certification details and listed weight (even if partially obscured) suggest it is a significant gemstone. The estimated age is not determinable without further information, but the packaging style appears to be from the late 20th to early 21st century. The craftsmanship details are limited to the cut of the stone, which appears precise for a square or cushion cut, though specific facet quality cannot be assessed.
