RED EMERALD ROUND CUT
4.0 mm
0.16 carat

Here is a wonderful top-color RED round cut Red Emerald (beryl) gemstone.  The stone is small, but beautiful, and saturated enough to stand out in jewelry.  Please note that internal feathers seen in the high-resolution photography are not as visible to the naked eye.

Kennecott's initial exploration of the Ruby-Violet Claims in 1994 yielded only 293 carats.  Reportedly, the largest stone faceted from their efforts was only seventeen points!  As of 1997, the average size for a Red Emerald gem was only 0.05 carat...and over 90% of ALL cut stones weighed 0.08 carat or less!
