A large 3-carat Russian emerald, IGI-confirmed as Ural in origin. Its color is a lively blue-green — the cool, faintly bluish cast prized in Ural material — and the stone is cut with real skill: the faceting is lively and precise, so it sparkles and throws light across the whole face. This one wears its nature openly. Like most emeralds it carries a natural garden of inclusions, but the cut turns that into an advantage — the brilliance and the blue-green glow catch the eye first, and the internal life reads as part of the stone's character rather than a distraction. Like nearly all emeralds it shows indications of clarity enhancement, the standard accepted treatment. A large, vividly alive Ural emerald with confirmed provenance and a cut that makes it glow.
