18.78ct Cat's-Eye Emerald – Natural Brazil Beryl – VVS ICA Certified
Rare Phenomenal 18.78ct Natural Cat's-Eye Emerald
Experience one of nature's most elusive treasures: a 18.78ct Natural Cat’s-Eye Emerald. While traditional emeralds are prized for their color, this phenomenal variety from Brazil features the rare optical effect of chatoyancy. A sharp, luminous "eye" or star line tracks across the surface of the stone, centered perfectly thanks to its Excellent Cut.
Exceptional VVS Clarity and Origin
Finding a Cat's-Eye Emerald with VVS clarity (96% eye clean) is nearly unheard of, as the inclusions required to create the "eye" usually cloud the stone. This specimen maintains a translucent, vibrant green body with incredible internal cleanliness. Sourced from the premier mines of Brazil, this stone carries the prestige and history associated with top-tier South American beryl.
ICA Certified Authenticity
This investment-grade gemstone is fully authenticated by the ICA (International Colored Gemstone Association), ensuring its natural origin and weight. The chatoyancy is strong and well-defined, making it a standout piece for high-jewelry aficionados or those seeking a museum-quality addition to their collection.
