Beryl var. Emerald

Synthetic - Chatham

2.45cm x 2.04cm x 1.6cm

approx. 6 grams


Description/Interesting Notes:

Although this specimen is technically synthetic, Chatham 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 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 Chatham on their website, (go to the consumer pricelist) It is also quite interesting to learn about the process!!! They are $21/carat (VERY EXPENSIVE)!!! Using a gram scale (that, unfortunately, does not measure into fractional grams) this specimen weighs a minimum of 6 grams, or 30 carats!!! Such a weight, at $21/carat would give this specimen a value of approximately $630 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 AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY MARCH 12th!!!
