Zambia is a major source of natural emeralds, which are known for their deep green color and high clarity. Zambian emeralds are considered to be some of the finest in the world and are highly sought after by collectors and jewelers. The mineral beryl is the one that forms the emerald and the color of the emerald depends on the presence of trace elements like Chromium and Vanadium. The unique color and quality of Zambian emeralds are due to the presence of high levels of chromium and iron in the area where they are mined. Emeralds are evaluated based on the 4 C's which are Carat, Cut, Clarity and Color, Zambian emeralds are known for their high quality, and often command high prices on the market.
