Although this specimen is technically synthetic, prehniteam emeralds are considered by many
to be indistinguishable from naturally occurring emerald!!!. This cluster consists of many
well-formed emeralds that are simply incredible!!! The color is an absolutely perfect
emerald green and it is much better than the photographs show!!! If one so desired, I
would imagine that this specimen could be faceted into many valuable faceted gemstones
but I think it is simply spectacular as is!!! This specimen is DRAMATICALLY more gemmy
than most of the clusters I have seen from prehniteam!!! This specimen is a lot more
impressive in person and was very difficult to photograph because it had such rich color
and glassy luster!!! I have found that the only other way one can obtain these specimens
through prehniteam on their website, (go to the consumer pricelist) It is also quite
interesting to learn about the process!!! They are $21/carat (VERY EXPENSIVE)!!! This
specimen weighs a minimum of 3.5 grams, or 17.5 carats!!! Such a weight, at $21/carat
would give this specimen a value of approximately $367.50 at a minimum!!! And that is the
price directly from the manufacturer!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED! - More fantastic auctions will be listed this Saturday evening for a special 5-Day auction ending
at the regular time on Thursday evening, January 24th!!! Don't miss out!!!
