Description/Interesting Notes:
Although this specimen is technically synthetic, Chatham emeralds are considered by many to
be indistinguishable from naturally occurring emerald!!!. This cluster consists of many
well-formed emeralds that are simply incredible!!! The color is an absolutely perfect
emerald green and it is much better than the photographs show!!! If one so desired, I would
imagine that this specimen could be faceted into many valuable faceted gemstones but I think
it is simply spectacular as is!!! This specimen is DRAMATICALLY more gemmy than most of the
clusters I have seen from Chatham!!! This specimen is a lot more impressive in person and was
very difficult to photograph because it had such rich color and glassy luster!!! I have found
that the only other way one can obtain these specimens through Chatham on their website,
(go to the consumer pricelist) It is also quite interesting to learn about the process!!!
They are $21/carat (VERY EXPENSIVE)!!! Using a gram scale (that, unfortunately, does not
measure into fractional grams) this specimen weighs a minimum of 5 grams, or 25 carats!!!
Such a weight, at $21/carat would give this specimen a value of approximately $525 at a
minimum!!! And that is the price directly from the manufacturer!!!
Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!!
STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS
WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY JULY 3rd!!!
