Exceptional Green Beryl--A Member of the '100 Carats Club'
Brazil
Found in Brazil during the 1980s, this fine green beryl is remarkable in that typically such stones are heat enhanced in order to make them aquamarines. The present stone was left "as is", unenhanced and natural, a pretty leaf green color of exceptionally high clarity for the species, beautifully faceted into an emerald-cut. This is a fine stone for the collector and a wearable one at the same time.
Weighing approximately 113.91 carats and measuring 31.5 x25.0 x 17.5mm
