Siberian Emerald is long prized for its breathtaking crystal clarity, green fire and forest green hues. According to history, Siberian Emerald was discovered by a Russian

peasant, Maxim Stefanovitch Koshevnikov, in 1830 in the roots of a tree that had been felled in a storm on the Tokovoya River near Ekaterinburg in Siberia’s Ural Mountains.

Despite this, rumors persist that Russia actually supplied Emeralds long before the Spaniards discovered the famous Colombian Emerald in the late 16th century. These legends

even go as far as to suggest that the Scythian Emeralds mentioned by Pliny the Elder in his Historia Naturalis came from the Urals.  Rising to fame in the 19th century, the largest

and best known source of Siberian Emerald is the Mariinsky (St. Mary’s) mine. This mine was discovered in 1833 near the village of Malyshevo. The deposits were

nationalized after World War I and Emerald mining soon ceased when Malyshevo became a military security zone. Siberian Emeralds almost entirely disappeared…..

Siberian Emerald is now back and we are delighted to offer a couple of these exclusive stones to our customers!

Siberian Emerald is mined in very rugged terrain - the area is wet, rocky and very mountainous, and less than half a percent of the rough crystals

mined are suitable for faceting. As a result, Siberian Emeralds are a “must have” for any true Emerald connoisseur.
