An exclusive pear-shaped emerald weighing 100 carats will be one of the outstanding lots offered for sale in the US / International Diamond Week, scheduled for mid-March, according to a press release from the Israeli Diamond Exchange, which leads the portal Israelidiamond.co.il.
On both sides of the 100-carat emerald will be placed emeralds weighing half of this large stone, so these precious stones can be used to make a set of pendant and earrings. It is expected that the cost of precious stones following the auction will be $ 4 million.
According to the owner of the auction company Tzoffey's 1818, which sells emeralds for sale, these stones were made from one emerald mined in a mine in Zambia, and unlike most stones that hit the market, they were not subjected to additional processing and ennobling and even did not fit in An "oil bath".
Together with many other gemstones put up for sale during the event, these emeralds can be inspected in the building of the Israeli Diamond Exchange during the American / International Diamond Week from March 17 to March 20.
