Torrington Emerald | 0.425ct
A lovely Torrington emerald cut into a long hexagon to suit the rough crystal shape, with nice sharp banding.
In Australia, emerald deposits are exceptionally scarce. Among collectors and those familiar with Australian gemstones, one of the most sought-after are the renowned Torrington emeralds from New South Wales.
This was a small, isolated deposit that has long since been exhausted, making existing material increasingly rare. This particular stone was hand-mined in the 1990’s. Torrington emeralds are distinguished by their unique banded structure, alternating green and colourless zones running along the length of the stone. This natural patterning is rarely seen in emeralds worldwide and gives each piece a distinctive character.
A rare and finite material, this Torrington emerald represents a special piece of Australia’s gemstone heritage
