Colombian "No Oil" Emeralds Colombia accounts for approximately 70-90% of the international emerald market. Geologically speaking, Colombian emeralds are said to be the purest emeralds in the world because the deposits are the only ones on earth found in sedimentary host rock, rather than in igneous rock. Typically, emeralds contain various inclusions that are visible to the naked eye. While most emeralds on the market today have been enhanced in some way, untreated emeralds – referred to in the trade as "no oils" – are exceptionally rare, and when combined with a rich colour and a clean crystal with very few/no inclusions, their rarity and hence desirability increases significantly. Top quality "no oil" Colombian emeralds of fine, transparent material are highly sought after today.
