Emerald from Colombia

Colombian Emeralds

Colombian emeralds are among the most valuable and sought-after gemstones in the world. They are known for their exceptional color, purity, and luster, and are considered some of the finest emeralds in the world.

Price

Factors that can affect the price include the color, clarity, cut, and size of the emerald.

In general, high quality Colombian emeralds with a deep, rich green color and excellent clarity can fetch prices of up to $10000 per carat or more. However, less expensive options are also available with prices ranging from $500 to $1000 per carat for emeralds with good color and clarity but some inclusions or imperfections.

Colombian emeralds are prized for their deep, rich green color, which is due to trace amounts of chromium and vanadium present in the gemstone. The intensity and saturation of color may vary with the most valuable stones having a pure, bright green hue.

In addition to color, Colombian emeralds are also valued for their purity and lack of inclusions. Many of these stones are relatively pure and have a high degree of clarity making them highly prized by collectors and jewelers.
