Colombian Emerald Price

Colombian emerald is a rare and precious gemstone. Therefore, every single factor including its color, clarity, cut and carat weight is carefully analysed to justify Colombian emeralds value in the gem market. Columbian emerald’s international demand, its rarity in a certain shade, the place from where it is purchased also influence its overall worth. We, at GemPundit, always encourage our customers to learn deeply about these quality factors that are helpful in choosing the best quality emerald and ensure a fair purchase.

Note : Colombian emerald price in India starts from ₹ 3200 per carat and can go as far as ₹ 40000 per carat and above, depending upon quality of the stone. (The price in other countries like Dubai or US may differ.)

• Color – Most of the emerald buyers place greater emphasis on color. Generally, a deep green Colombian emerald stone with evenly distributed color is rare to find and commands a good premium. On the other hand, Colombian emerald prices for too pale or excessive dark pieces decrease substantially.

• Clarity – The presence of three-phase inclusions (solid, liquid and gaseous bubbles & silky web traps) are common and considered as an important identification mark. But, then also, Colombian emeralds price is determined by the type of inclusions it has and its overall influence on the color. Therefore, the presence of black inclusions, or other contrasting inclusions which are interfering with color, can reduce Colombian emerald cost drastically.

• Cut – Colombian Panna stone price increases by 20-30% for highly faceted stones due to more wastage of rough involved in the cutting process. The moderate hardness of emeralds also makes the stone vulnerable to damage while cutting, setting and polishing. Even the skilled lapidaries (gem cutters) invest extra time and efforts to design a fancy cut emerald. Therefore, Colombian emeralds in highly faceted fancy cuts are less common and therefore priced exorbitantly. Emerald cut, oval cut and round cut are more preferred as they retain maximum weight and bring out fiery lustre.

• Carat Weight – Colombian emerald in natural form is found in the deeply hidden mines and break-off easily during the mining process due to its moderate hardness. Finding a top-quality Colombian Panna in large size is a tough nut to crack. Therefore, Colombian emerald price per carat escalates steeply if the size increases without compromising the color and clarity.
