Catalogue Note
Accompanied by AGL and SSEF reports numbered CS 61999 and 73804, dated 24 June and 28 March 2014 respectively, stating that the 18.69 carat emerald is natural, of Colombian origin, with no indications of clarity enhancement. The AGL letter further states that the emerald 'exhibits a very fine, saturated, slightly bluish green colour that is reminiscent of high-quality emeralds from the Muzo mining area...Top-quality Colombian emeralds of 18 cts are very rare. This combination of quality factors, absence of clarity enhancement, large size and origin determination represents a particularly fine example of a Colombian emerald.'
