Rough Emerald Crystal Parcel
This item consists of a collection or 'parcel' of rough emerald crystals, presented on a white surface within a hand-drawn circular boundary. The parcel is labeled with the handwritten notation '142ct', suggesting a total weight of 142 carats for this grouping. The crystals exhibit a vibrant, saturated green characteristic of high-quality emerald, with color variation ranging from medium to deep forest green. These are uncut, raw gemstones displaying natural hexagonal prismatic crystal structures and jagged, conchoidal fractures typical of the beryl mineral family. The individual stones appear relatively small, likely averaging under 5 carats each based on the total count and weight estimate. Transparency varies among the specimens; some appear translucent with visible internal inclusions (jardins), while others appear more opaque. There is no evidence of professional facet work, though some flat surfaces likely represent natural crystal faces. The stones are in their raw state from the mine, showing no signs of synthetic manufacturing, though they are typical of production from regions such as Zambia or Colombia. The condition is raw and natural, intended for gemstone cutters (lapidaries) or mineral collectors. No specific maker's marks are present as these are natural mineral specimens, though the handwritten prices in the background suggest a wholesale or trade environment.
