Parcel of Loose Emerald Gemstones

This parcel consists of twelve loose, green gemstones, identified by their characteristic deep green hue and traditional octagonal step-cut, or 'emerald cut.' The stones vary slightly in size, ranging approximately from 4mm to 6mm in length, and exhibit a range of tonal saturations from medium-light to deep forest green. These appear to be natural emeralds, judging by the visible internal inclusions known as 'jardin'—features which create a soft, slightly mossy internal landscape. The stones are meticulously faceted with clean parallel steps and beveled corners, a hallmark of high-quality gemstone cutting designed to stabilize the beryl crystal. Many of the stones show high transparency, while others are more opaque due to internal veining. Observation reveals varied edge wear across the parcel; while most maintain sharp facet junctions, a few exhibit minor chips or abrasions along the girdles and corners, consistent with stones formerly set in jewelry or handled as a loose collection. There are no visible maker's marks, which is standard for loose gems. The collection displays the classic characteristics of Colombian or Zambian origin, though lab testing would be required for confirmation. Overall craftsmanship in the symmetry of the cuts is professional, indicating a commercial fine-quality grade suitable for custom jewelry fabrication.
