Description
10.49ct grey trapiche emerald in an oval cabochon.
This ‘albino’ variety displays the semi transparency of the trapiche emerald beautifully.
Trapiche emeralds are valued the brighter the green, much like an emerald.
The grey variety is unusual because not only is the absolute colourless specimen rare in nature, the translucence of the grey trapiche emerald manifests the spoke wheel fully.
This particular specimen possesses well defined black dendrites, sole line work with a single deviating spot tucked to the back.
The high contrast wheel feels almost like it’s drawn in with a fine marker into the gel-like emerald.
This 10.49ct stone is part of a collection of a 4-piece grey trapiche family, with hopes of completion in a ring, pendant, and a pair of earrings.
This stone measures 15.6 x 11 x 7.6mm.
