Loose Oval-Cut Faceted Emerald
This item is a loose, faceted emerald gemstone, displaying an oval-shaped cut. The gemstone exhibits a saturated, verdant forest-green hue with a medium-to-dark tone characteristic of classic beryl varieties. Based on its scale relative to the holding fingers, the stone appears to be approximately 3 to 5 carats in weight. The transparency of the emerald is semi-translucent, showing a significant presence of internal inclusions, often referred to as 'jardin' (French for garden) in the gemological trade. These internal fractures and mineral veils are typical for natural emeralds and impact the stone's overall clarity and light performance. The faceting appears to be a standard brilliant or step-cut crown with a polished table, though some minor abrasions or 'flea bites' may be present along the facet junctions due to the stone's natural fragility and hardness (7.5-8 on the Mohs scale). No visible maker's marks or laser inscriptions are detectable at this magnification. The stone appears to be of modern cutting style, potentially finished within the last 30 years. Quality is indicative of commercial-to-fine jewelry grade, likely requiring a professional lab report to determine origin and the presence of clarity enhancements such as oiling or resin filling, which are standard for this species of gem.
