About this emerald:
This stone has a flat base, which facilitates its setting in a ring, bracelet, or pendant.
In addition to the diversity of its colours, its surface features slight fissures and cavities.
You should know that these are not accidents or mechanical damage, but characteristics that testify to its birth within the host rock.
