Gigantic 14.70 Carats Natural Earth Mine Loose Green Emerald Gem Zambia Mine

About the Item

Loose Emerald Weight: 14.70 Carats Dimension: 16.2x14.4x8.3 Mm Origin: Zambia Shape: Emerald Color; Green Treatment: Non Certificate: On Customer Demand Zambia is renowned for producing some of the world's finest emeralds, prized for their deep green hues and exceptional quality. The country's emerald mining industry primarily centers around the Kagem mine, situated in the Copperbelt Province. This mine is a significant source of Zambia's emerald production and contributes substantially to the global emerald market. The Kagem mine, operated by Gemfields, stands out as one of the world's largest and most productive emerald mines. Its success is attributed not only to the quantity but also the quality of emeralds unearthed from its depths. These emeralds often display a rich, intense green color, admired and sought after by gemstone enthusiasts, collectors, and jewelry designers worldwide. Zambian emeralds are celebrated for their vivid coloration, which stems from the presence of trace elements like chromium and vanadium within the mineral structure. This distinct coloration sets Zambian emeralds apart, making them highly desirable in the gemstone market. The mining process for these precious gemstones involves intricate procedures to extract, sort, and process the raw material. Miners employ a combination of traditional mining techniques and modern machinery to carefully extract the emeralds from the surrounding rock formations. Once extracted, the rough emeralds undergo sorting and grading to separate them based on their size, color, clarity, and overall quality. Skilled artisans meticulously cut and polish the rough stones, revealing the gem's inner brilliance and enhancing its beauty. Zambia's emerald industry not only contributes significantly to the country's economy but also plays a crucial role in providing employment opportunities for many locals. However, challenges such as environmental concerns, fair labor practices, and market fluctuations continue to be areas of focus for the sustainable growth of the Zambian emerald mining sector. In the global marketplace, Zambia's emeralds stand as a testament to the country's rich geological endowment, captivating buyers with their stunning beauty and remarkable quality.
