In this category, we are offering faceted natural Afghan, Colombian, and Zambian emeralds at wholesale prices. Each stone is guaranteed to be authentic, and any treatments that are applied to the stones are clearly disclosed. The most common treatment is the use of colorless oil. This oil enters any cracks or holes in the stone and makes them disappear. This improves the clarity of the stone while also enhancing the color. It is safe to assume that all Emeralds have been treated using this method. However, we offer some untreated natural emeralds in our stock.

The primary source for Emerald has always been South America, with the best quality gems coming from Columbia. In recent years, other significant sources like Afghanistan and Zambia are increasing in popularity. Origin is essential when selecting Emerald. Stones from Columbia are considered the finest in the world, while Panjshir Valley in Afghanistan on many occasions, has produced emeralds rivaling the best Colombian emeralds. Emeralds from Afghanistan have a hydrothermal formation just the same as Colombian emeralds. Emeralds from Panjshir are known for their intense green color and recognized as representing some of the best on the planet.

My Sales Policy:

I offer a full refund and return policy for my buyers. You can buy from me with total confidence. No questions will be asked for any return because I understand pictures can't judge the gemstones, and they have to be examined with your own eye. All gems I offer for sale look much better in real when you receive them, for I used my gemologist expertise earned from GIA for every single stone I picked. And more importantly, all the gemstones I offer are tested with many gemology tools for quality and treatment. I offer only natural gemstones and no lab-grown (synthetic). My goal is to attract happy customers by providing genuine gemstones and disclosure of the true identity of each gem I offer.

Photography Information:
All photos are taken with Canon DS126441 under the daylight equivalent lamp. I tried my best to capture all characteristics of each gemstone, focusing on actual color, clarity, and cut of the gem.

Customs:
Outside the USA, buyers are responsible for payment of any and all customs and duties for their country.
