Rough Emerald Gemstone Crystal

This item is a small, uncut rough emerald crystal fragment, held between human fingers for scale. The specimen is approximately 5 to 7 millimeters in length, exhibiting a light to medium bluish-green saturation characteristic of beryl varieties. Its physical form is irregular and naturally occurring, lacking the hexagonal prismatic structure often seen in high-grade emerald specimens, which suggests it may be a contact crystal or a fractured fragment. The material is translucent with visible internal inclusions, fractures, and 'jardin' (garden-like) patterns that are inherent to natural emeralds. The surface appears frosted and matte due to its raw, unpolished state. There are no maker's marks or craftsmanship details as this is a geological specimen rather than a finished piece of jewelry. The condition is raw and 'as-found,' with no artificial treatments discernible to the naked eye, though rough stones of this nature are frequently evaluated for clarity to determine if they are suitable for faceted cutting or cabochon shaping. The color is consistent throughout the majority of the fragment, with a slightly darker concentration of green at one tapered end.
