~1.2ct Zambia Green Hydrothermal Emerald [Beryl] | Emerald Cut | 6 × 8 mm | Feather Inclusions | Gemdrop® Verified
Discover the elegant beauty of this ~1.2 ct (6 × 8 mm) Emerald Cut lab-grown Zambia Green Emerald [Beryl] featuring naturally formed feather inclusions created during hydrothermal crystal growth. Displaying a rich, vibrant green colour inspired by the finest Zambian emeralds, this precision-cut gem combines the timeless elegance of the emerald cut with unique internal growth features that make every crystal individual.
Lab-grown beryl is real beryl. It possesses the same chemical composition (Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈), crystal structure, and optical properties as natural beryl. The only difference is its origin, having been grown under carefully controlled laboratory conditions rather than within the Earth.
Every Gemdrop® gem is individually scientifically verified and permanently recorded within the Gemdrop Verification Database, providing complete transparency and confidence in exactly what you are purchasing.
A REAL EMERALD. CREATED THROUGH SCIENCE.
This gem was grown using advanced hydrothermal crystal growth technology within one of the world's leading high-technology gem-growing laboratories. By replicating the high-temperature, high-pressure conditions under which emerald naturally forms, this process produces genuine crystalline beryl with exceptional colour, transparency and authentic crystal growth characteristics.
The resulting crystal is genuine beryl—not a simulant or imitation—with the same fundamental physical, chemical and optical properties as naturally occurring beryl.
ZAMBIA GREEN. CHARACTER CREATED BY CRYSTAL GROWTH.
Zambia Green captures the deep, richly saturated green colour associated with some of the world's most admired emeralds. With slightly cooler green tones and outstanding transparency, this elegant colour creates a sophisticated appearance that pairs beautifully with white, yellow and rose precious metals.
This particular gem contains naturally occurring feather inclusions formed during hydrothermal crystal growth. These internal growth features are part of the crystal itself—not damage—and give each gem a unique appearance while reflecting the natural processes involved in crystal formation. Many collectors and gem enthusiasts appreciate these distinctive growth features as evidence of genuine crystal growth.
The Emerald Cut is the classic cut for beryl, showcasing exceptional clarity through elegant step facets and broad mirror-like reflections. Rather than relying solely on brilliance, this refined cut emphasises crystal structure, depth of colour and timeless sophistication, making it ideal for rings, pendants, earrings and bespoke jewellery.
With a Mohs hardness of 7.5–8, beryl offers excellent durability for fine jewellery while maintaining outstanding beauty.
