Questions & Answers (2)
Is this emerald natural or lab-grown, and does it come with any independent gem certificate (GIA, IGI, GRS)? Also, please list all treatments (oil, resin, fracture-filling). francishawkes (0 • 1:04 am, Fri, 16 Jan )This is a natural earth mined emerald. GRS is $450 USD / GIA is $250 USD per cert. IGI only grades diamonds. If you win the auction you are more than welcome to pay the additional cost to have the gem sent to the lab - we do not provide lab reports on $1 auctions unless specified (or arranged at the end of an auction). If you would like an emerald that already has a completed lab report feel free to shop on our website. 90% of our gems here have a lab report already completed. sapphiremerch (245 • Friday, 16 January 2026 )
