Loose Columbian Pyrite in Emerald 3.346 ct

It is said that the beautiful green color of emeralds varies depending on their origin. This particular emerald from Colombia is known for its especially deep green hue. Emeralds are generally stones with many inclusions, so it is common to treat them with oil to make these inclusions less noticeable. Please enjoy its elegant green color. This is an emerald with pyrite inclusions.
This is a pyrite and mica-included emerald from the Chivor mine in Colombia. The Chivor mine is known for producing beautiful, bluish emeralds. This particular loose stone features pyrite within the emerald. The addition of pyrite, with its metallic luster, to the emerald creates a look distinct from a pure emerald. It's a stone that offers a unique mineralogical character.
Such pyrite-included emeralds are known not only for their interesting appearance but also for the difficulty of their polishing. This is because emerald and pyrite have different hardnesses, with emerald being harder. During regular polishing, the pyrite parts tend to become recessed. Therefore, these stones are carefully cut over a long period of time locally in Colombia. Because different minerals coexist within a single stone, high skill and caution are required in the finishing process.
