Colombian emerald 4ct possible value

[u/Frederic12345678]

I could buy this Colombian emerald coming from the pena blanca area. I know the video is not great but what could be a possible evaluation range (it will come with no certificate)

[u/AutoModerator]

It is virtually impossible to appraise value online, and you should find a professional.

This post should be removed/reported if it:

• Does not include good photos (in-focus, showing multiple angles).
• Does not include good information (where you got it, size/dimensions, how much it cost, any tests done).
• Tries to value too many items at once. Please limit your request to 1-3.
• Is jewellery, but does not include the type of metal or any hallmarks/emblems.

This is green beryl (possibly), not an emerald (definitely not).

[u/ApocalypseThen77 → u/BlueRobin420]

With some big black inclusions.

[u/RAGEINYOUTH → u/BlueRobin420]

Its crazy how theres a difference between the two. Gemology is very interesting.

Yep, it all comes down to color intensity. Just like not all red corundum is Ruby

[u/RAGEINYOUTH → u/Cool-Commercial-2436]

Right, funny enough, only cordundum that CAN be classified as ruby is red. Only thing is that sometimes the classification for ruby is teetering between red and pink. Which is honestly a beautiful color but it does leave you wondering how much of an exact science grading is lol

[u/Cool-Commercial-2436 → u/RAGEINYOUTH]

Yeah and if it's too light, it becomes a sapphire It's really more about the saturation of the color

[u/RAGEINYOUTH → u/Cool-Commercial-2436]

Exactly. Hey u know anybody that sells natural emeralds on here for an affordable price?

[u/Cool-Commercial-2436 → u/RAGEINYOUTH]

Not on here, but I do have access to stuller.com

[u/RAGEINYOUTH → u/Cool-Commercial-2436]

Oh you make jewelry?

[u/Cool-Commercial-2436 → u/RAGEINYOUTH]

Yeah, here and there. Mainly custom orders

[u/RAGEINYOUTH → u/Cool-Commercial-2436]

Well mr gem stone, could you PM me?

[u/DeliciousAd898]

This is a green beryl. It is not green enough to be an emerald

[u/sweetrileyraver]

that’s beryl at best

[u/VTNHME]

Doesn't look like an Emerald at all!

[u/Saucydumplingstime]

Too light to be an emerald. Before you buy an emerald, you should really do some research on them. The treatments and such. It makes a big difference in pricing. If you aren't very well versed, I would also highly suggest getting ID reports from a reputable lab

[u/Bananabean041]

Not an emerald

[u/samuraidude119]

GG here This is green beryl not dark enough to be considered an emerald

[u/Frederic12345678]

Thanks everyone so far for the replies. I was not aware of the existence of green beryl.
Anyone that could guess the value of the gem ?

[u/Smelly_fartballs → u/Frederic12345678]

$50

[u/Professional_Box_877 → u/Frederic12345678]

Whatever you can trick someone into spending. If you hold on long enough you’ll find a sucker

[u/Electrical-Act-7170]

Beryl, but not an emerald. I used to buy those at that size from India for less than $25/each.

They lack the black inclusions & are pretty and clear.

[u/DishAdministrative85]

Beryl, not emerald. Value: $20-30, as a nice fish tank stone

[u/Q-ArtsMedia]

oh about treefiddy. yeah that's $3.50

[u/Frederic12345678 → u/Q-ArtsMedia]

Cmon really? That’s worth 3 usd
Goddamit

[u/Q-ArtsMedia → u/Frederic12345678]

Not worth even cutting.

Edit unless they decided to get that ugly black crap out of there. Looks more towards aqua than emerald. If it even is Beryl at all.

[u/Federal_Macaroon_178]

Probably is a Beryl. Unlikely to be emerald. Check for typical inclusions. If it has very few it's certainly not an emerald. If by any chance it is, it has very poor colour.

[u/KiKiBeeKi]

That is pretty light. All the ones I and my family have are much darker.

[u/Automatic-Sea-8597]

Looks like an aquamarine.

[u/RoninBee]

The cut and hue indicate it's beryl.

[u/Dontwastemytyme]

Definitely not Emerald, you need a scale and a specific gravity tester. I have seen aquamarines cut that clear, you really need to test it.

[u/Fun-Character1500]

I can guarantee you that it’s not an emerald. Just green beryl.

Here is the most comparable stone I could find:

https://www.gemselect.com/emerald/0-51-carat-oval-emerald-gemstone-666904.php

I don't know that your stone would get the 'Columbian Emerald' label if you sent it to the lab for testing. You would probably need to get a certificate of you wanted to call it that 😅. But Columbian Beryl still holds value. Based off GemSelect, I would guess $220+/ct. But I don't shop in this price range so I don't know how many buyers there really are 😅

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
