Without a doubt, this is the best Afghan specimen emerald for quality, regardless of size, I have ever seen. White marble acts as the matrix for a very gemmy, deep, emerald green, lustrous, crystal that measures 1.25 cm in length. One seldom sees specimens for sale and Afghan emeralds are uncommon in collections. Mostly, they are sold over there for cutting and carving, and seldom reach our side of the world.
