Emerald is the
birthstone for the month of May and the anniversary gemstone for the 20th and
35th year of marriage, Symbolizing love, and success.
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. Panjshir Emeralds are found in Panjshir Valley
in the Hindu Kush Mountains along the Himalayan Mountain range's foothills. The mines in Panjshir Valley are located at some of the world’s highest
elevations at around 5000 m above sea level. Panjshir Emeralds have a long and
lustrous history. Emeralds have been reported in Panjshir Valley for thousands
of years. It is believed that the first emeralds that Romans saw were Panjshir Emeralds.
Up until 2000 years ago, Panjshir Emeralds were traded along the Silk Road with
Alexander the Great and Pilny the Elder. And today! Himalayan Gems and Jewelry
is one of the first, and largest, companies in our era to ethically and legally
commercialize emeralds from Panjshir. Now, we are the bridge to bring the most
exquisite gems from the Silk Road to you.
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.
