Australian Torrington Banded Emerald - Emerald Cut - 7.5ct
In Australia there are very few places where one can find an emerald. Among Australian collectors and those in the know, the most sort after and rarest of Australian emeralds would arguably be the famous Torrington emeralds in northern New South Wales. This is a tiny small deposit and has long since been dug out which makes these particular emeralds all the more rare and precious. Torrington emeralds exhibit a unique banded appearance which is really lovely to see and gives it a very distinctive appearance. There are alternating bands of green and clear running along the length of the emerald crystal. The emeralds from Torrington were never very large and this one is an excellent size and example of it’s type. I have cut and polished this gem to bring out the best in the stone and highlight it’s natural banding. This rare Torrington emerald will make a superb addition to your collection.
In the hand the gem has the classic emerald green hue and the banding is quite distinct. The pictures do not do the gem justice and they make the gem look more included than it really is as it is quite a clean stone.

Regarding Photographing Emeralds
Of all the gemstones in the mineral kingdom, emeralds are known as being among the most notoriously difficult gemstones to photograph. Accurately capturing and representing the unique emerald green is most elusive and unfortunately it currently eludes me. Personally I think it is something to do with the presence of chromium and vanadium and how that influences light within the stone that makes it so hard for cameras to process, or in some way confuses the camera and how it processes colour and light. It is very rare to see emeralds photographed well. All I can say is that I try my best but please remember that the pictures are only a representation of the intense and verdant green that only emeralds have. This is why it is so important to view these emeralds in the hand to truly appreciate just how incredible they are. In the hand this gem is as green as emeralds are.
