NOTE: The emerald has been weighed loose. Emerald Characteristics It is the opinion of the gemologist that the emerald in this ring has internal characteristics consistent with those observed in natural emerald that has been clarity enhanced to an insignificant degree with traditional means (oil) and that the most likely location of geographic origin is Colombia. The emerald is slightly bluish green in hue, medium in tone, and moderately strong in saturation. The stone (see pictures above) has numerous eye visible inclusions, several of which reach the surface. Given the age of the stone and the appearance of the surface-reaching inclusions, any clarity enhancement still present is minimal and not masking any internal features. The surface of the cabochon shows scattered minor scratches at 10X magnification. Diamond Characteristics (graded in setting) Color: G-I Clarity: VS1-SI1, majority VS Condition: numerous stones have minute to moderate chipping visible under 10X magnification
