Uncut Rough Green Emerald Crystals
This lot consists of approximately thirty individual uncut, rough green emerald crystals displayed on white paper. The crystals exhibit a diverse range of sizes and shapes, with the group total weight noted on the paper as 310 carats. The stones display a characteristic vibrant, medium-to-deep green saturation with some variation in tone across the parcel. Many of the specimens retain their natural hexagonal prismatic habit, which is indicative of the beryl mineral family. The physical appearance of the stones is heavily included with visible internal fractures, veining, and cloudy white mineral matrix attachments, which are common in natural rough emeralds. The surfaces vary from relatively smooth crystal faces to jagged, conchoidal fractures where pieces have been broken from the host rock. There is no evidence of professional carving or polishing, suggesting these are in their raw, mine-run state. The paper beneath the crystals contains handwritten blue ink notations indicating a parcel weight of 310 ct and a numerical range of 2250 - 5000, which likely refers to an asking price or estimated value per carat or for the entire lot in a specific currency. The quality appears to be commercial grade suitable for cabochon cutting or mineral specimen collectors rather than high-end faceted transparency.
