Lot of mostly Pale to Minty Green "Emerald" from Nigeria. We unfortunately don't have a Chelsea Filter readily available; however, we are confident that this material is chromium colored. Since we don't have the equipment necessary to confirm this we can't guarantee it is Chromium colored. This material is referred to as Emerald in Nigeria and that is what it was sent to us as; however, we would call it Chrome Beryl due to the dept of color in the rough. Since we don't know the coloring agent we aren't calling it Chrome Beryl. The lot overall is a steal at our price and that is due to the great price we got on it as a sample. We would say that roughly 75% of this lot is high facet grade with some nice larger stones in here that look as though they will produce eye-clean to very slightly included finished gems in the 2+ carat range.

This is the only parcel of this material we have and it was sent to us as a sample. It was discounted due to its sample status and we are selling it likewise. We have seen some of the cleaner stones in this lot sell for $6-$10.00+ per carat and I don't think there is any way you can go wrong picking this up. This is another lot that would be a great Ebay money maker for those interested in reselling this broken up.

1. Nigeria is known to produce "Emerald" though designating the material Emerald has been hotly debated. Most of the Nigerian material tends to be a light Minty Green color and the material is commonly referred to as Chrome Beryl in the US.
