A large 3.53-carat Russian emerald, IGI-confirmed as Ural in origin — the storied source that anchors its identity. The color is a lively, slightly cool green true to Ural material. Two things set this stone apart: first, it's notably clean for an emerald — the species is famous for busy inclusions, and this one reads open and even by comparison, letting the green come through clearly. Second, it's cut shallow and wide, carrying its weight across the face rather than in depth, so it faces up like an emerald of four and a half to five carats rather than its actual 3.53. Like nearly all emeralds it shows indications of clarity enhancement, the standard treatment for the species. A large, comparatively clean Ural emerald with real face-up presence and confirmed provenance.
