Huge Square Genuine Emerald 52-65Cts

This emerald (as well as the smaller 30 some carat I also have listed) has been sitting in my box since forever. I've been hesitant to list it here because I'm afraid I'll find out later it was worth a little something but honestly I'm ready to part with it. I don't want to invest the time and money to get it appraised/evaluated. My laziness might be your gain. But then again it may not be worth a ton. I just want to get rid of it before I lose it.

I don't have any paperwork and have forgotten the exact carat weight and origin. I can tell you that the species is beryl (what emerald originates from) and that it is color treated- which (in essence) means any surface cracks are treated with color to make it look more uniform.

It's a true gemstone/emerald and would make a unique addition to a collection. It is big enough that wire wrapping and setting would be a cinch.

The penny is just for a size reference. You will not be receiving the penny. It's about an inch by half inch.

It may take me the ful seven days to ship.

They either use extreme heat, radiation, or lead glass to repair or touch up fissures and cracks in most gemstones. These processes are typically harmless after they are done. Hope that helps.

A little bit of light here and there scattered throughout the stone can be seen when held up to the light.
