A large 2.91-carat Russian emerald, IGI-confirmed as Ural in origin. The color is a lively green carrying the cool, faintly bluish cast that Ural material is prized for — the character that separates it from the warmer greens of other sources. It's cut shallow and wide, carrying its weight across the face rather than in depth, so it faces up like an emerald of nearly four carats rather than its actual 2.91. Its natural inclusions are the honest signature of the species and of an untreated-looking natural beryl; like nearly all emeralds it shows indications of clarity enhancement, the standard accepted treatment. A large Ural emerald with true bluish-green character and real face-up presence, backed by confirmed provenance.
