Rough Emerald Crystals (214.5 carats)

This lot consists of a collection of high-quality rough emerald crystals, displayed in a parcel grouping weighing a total of 214.5 carats as indicated by the handwritten notation below the stones. The specimens exhibit a vivid, saturated 'forest green' color characteristic of premium beryl. Many of the stones display the classic hexagonal prism crystal habit typical of natural emerald formations. The individual pieces range in size from approximately 2mm to roughly 8mm in length. In terms of clarity, the stones appear to range from translucent to semi-transparent, with visible internal inclusions (jardins) such as fissures and mineral veining, which are standard for natural emeralds. The surface texture is largely unpolished and raw, showing natural cleavage planes and occasional host rock or matrix remnants. There are no signs of artificial coloring or synthetic coating visible in this state, though rough material of this nature would typically undergo oiling or resin treatment during the cutting process. The batch shows good uniformity in color saturation, suggesting they may have originated from the same mining source, possibly Colombian or Zambian based on the deep hue. The craftsmanship at this stage is purely geological, showing natural growth patterns without human interference.
