1.22 ct Natural Earth Mined Emerald Certified No ReserveSearchUS SellerWelcome to our auction!For the convenience of our returning customers that read "the whole story" hundreds if not thousands times first of all description and specifications. But if you didn't read and/or not a professional, please do. You will not say "not as on picture" ( i n general people that think it is possible to find a picture of emerald (this is not referred to many other stones) that at least remotely looks like a real stone should say "no" to drugs especially to hallucinogens. Pictures of tractors look much more realistically and much more aesthetically pleasant (of course it has to be a good tractor) . If you are a humorous person, after specifications I'll tell you how you can see a stone (almost) exactly as you saw it on the picture) and I will not have to explain (20-30 times per week) why Type 3 VS stone is much more included than SI2 diamond. Please also read about our combined shipping and immediate "no questions asked" refund policy. We both will not waste time for senseless and long "Return Request" or "Buyer opened a case and wanted a refund" procedures. If you didn't like a stone just return it. My assistant refunds within hours. Also you will not pay for shipping many times instead of just one.So, about the stone:Clarity. Type 3 VS but you will not see anything noticeable, apparent or actually anything face up. Well, maybe tiny pinpoint in certain position. I graded it VS because tiny fissures affect transparency to some degree. At the same time I dare to say that this matte even adds so much beautiful inner glow.Picture. I don't know what to say. Nothing bad, nothing good, I cannot point on anything particular. Usual pictures' deficiencies.Stone. Again, I cannot say there is something striking in this stone. Beautiful color, outstanding brilliance... Simply beautiful stone.Stone: Natural BerylVarieity: EmeraldShape: OvalWeight: 1.22 ctMeasurements: 7.94 x 5.92 x 4.19 mmColor: Slightly Bluish GreenTone: Medium - Medium DarkSaturation: VividClarity: Type 3 VSCut Grade: Ideal - ExcellentPolish: ExcellentTreatment: Colorless OilEstimated Retail Value: $ 21,960(Source: International Gem Society Price List: Emerald)I've been not asking and BEGGING buyers for years to not pay much attention to pictures and to rely on descriptions and specifications but too many scrolled down to description without reading it. We provide Full Grading Certificate with each stone free of charge and we post it in each listing. Please use it as an ultimate source of information about the stone and not the pictures. Once again - pictures (ours or anyone's else) are never correct and cannot be. We try to post most realistic pictures that show character of the stones but it is one-dimensional image of tiny object taken from only one angle and not the panorama of Grand Canyon. It is impossible to show every tiny inclusion or the level of brilliance and saturation. Color is ALWAYS altered one way or another. Anything light (as fissures) is almost always "dissolved." To be visible it must be brought to the high relief, which usually means very radical angle. And so on. For that reason the person who chooses and posts pictures is asked to choose pictures that show character of the stone and not every tiny nuance. Whenever it makes sense I make additional comments about the pictures. Besides, every monitor is different. The nice pure green stone I see on my CRT monitor looks overly bright strongly bluish one on my LCD, which turns to unknown lighting object on the screen of my laptop. Now some people say that the stone they received was different from what they saw on the display of their cell phones. Jesus... Well, actually you can see the stone almost exactly as you saw it on the picture. The procedure:Use EXACTLY the same (6 K pointed) controlled light. Put the stone EXACTLY in the same position and look at it EXACTLY at the same angle. Did it? Great. Freeze! The stone (and you) must be ABSOLUTELY static. Now of course you have to seriously damage your eyes. Only one actually, the second has to be removed - the camera has only one. You will need to implant a few filters - including this sinister UV one (you can do it at the same hospital). Otherwise your survivor eye will be not able to drastically change the color and the tone of the stone. I don't know (from the medical point of view) how to make it ignoring the main color of the stone and picking only colors of reflections and how to make your vision not 3 and 2-dimensional, but the doctor will help you. Abilities of modern medicine are unlimited. Now you can enjoy the view of "as on picture" stone. Those who are not ready for such radical measures please check specifications and read descriptions.To give you a practical example of how pictures are reliable in general, please look at the picture below. Some time ago I submitted to AGL (the highest authority in USA when it comes to colored stones. For high-end trade you must have AGL and only AGL certificate) high-end emerald. Medium Dark (quite dark), Bluish Green (very blue), crystal clean (you can judge from the minimal level of treatment - a scarce even for the cleanest VVS emeralds) stone. Please check how it appeared on the picture. At first I was angry - with the office on 5 th Avenue in Manhattan and $600+ price for certification they could afford to hire a better photographer than I am - but then I understood it was inevitable.Because we are constantly asked what is VVS, VS and other grades for Type 3 stones and why they are so different from other types (for instance, according to GIA VVS - the highest clarity grade for Type III stones - is BARELY equal to SI2 for Type I), for your convenience we included the chart of clarity grades for all stones right after specifications. Please take a look. It takes only a few minutes and greatly helps to understand specifications.We have 2 stores - antonowsky and esmstore001 (and we sell the same quality stones on both) and we combine shipping charges on both. Until recently we combined purchases from both stores, ship everything in one package, posted real tracking number on one site and imaginary on another (eBay requires tracking # but doesn't allow to combine from 2 stores even if they belong to the same seller). As it turned out, all tracking information must be validated by the carrier and eBay considered items with imaginary tracking number as non-shipped at all.PLEASE DON'T PAY IF YOU ARE GOING TO BID ON MORE STONES!!! If you paid we MUST ship within 24 hours. In the past as a courtesy we hold paid stones when buyers told us they were going to continue shopping. For this and previous courtesies our rating dropped from 99.8% to 74% and eBay told us they would close our account if we would not improve.So. Sorry, if you paid - your stone(s) will be shipped within 24 hours. And sorry, purchases from both stores will be shipped in 2 packages. We always tried to do everything to keep our customers happy and the less packaging the better for us too, but this care may mean no packaging at all with eBay policies and rules.Shopping for precious stones without seeing them in person is very difficult. We fully understand it and refund immediately no questions asked. Reasons can be different - too light/too dark in reality; didn't fit a setting; didn't match another stone; Type 3 VS is actually not eye clean as expected; simply didn't meet whatever expectations; offer to exchange the stone for which buyer paid $100 for an island in Greece was declined... You don't need to explain anything - you are the customer and always right. Simply send it back to the address on the package. Our assistant issues refund within hours. You are automatically protected by both eBay and PayPal for 45 days but our protection is better. We refund whenever you purchased a stone. Once I refunded 2 years old purchase.Eye Clean VVSSlightly Included VSModerately Included SIHeavily Included I1Severely Included I2Type ITotally eye clean to the unaided eyeMinute Inclusions difficult to see with unaided eyeMinor Inclusions somewhat easy to see with unaided eyeProminent Inclusions negative affection appearance and/or durabilityProminent Inclusions severe affect on appearance and/or durabilityType IIEye clean to the unaided eyeMinor Inclusions somewhat easy to see with unaided eyeNoticeable Inclusions apparent to the unaided eyeProminent Inclusions negative to severe effect on appearance and/or durabilityN/AType IIIExcept on larger stone generally eye clean but may contain barely visible small inclusions which are usually obvious when viewed with 10x magnificationNoticeable Inclusions apparent to the unaided eye.
