Green Emerald Color Range
These stones carry a 60-70% tone with moderate saturation, pulling toward minty blue-green in Colombian alluvial material and a cleaner spring-green in Brazilian parcels.
Light Emerald Green
Light emerald green occupies the cooler, more translucent end of the green beryl spectrum. Collectors prize them for settings requiring daylight brightness rather than depth, and they price lower per carat than vivid stones, typically $180-$900/ct for commercial grades. If you need a stone that reads 'green' without weight, light emerald green is the entry point. Browse our light emerald green inventory for certified options sorted by origin.
Dark Green Emerald
Dark green emerald commands the highest per-carat premiums in the natural green beryl category. Zambian dark greens, mined from Kafubu Valley, are the benchmark: intensely saturated, cooler-hued, and typically carrying fewer jardin inclusions than Colombian equivalents at the same depth. Colombian dark greens from Muzo and Coscuez carry a warm golden-green secondary hue at depth, prized by couture buyers. Commercial dark green runs $800-$4,200/ct; fine Zambian vivid dark clears $9,800/ct at unenhanced GIA-graded quality. View our dark green emerald collection for graded inventory.

Emerald Price Per Carat Guide
Emerald price per carat is the only honest unit of comparison across sizes. A 3 ct stone at $600/ct is not equivalent to a 1 ct stone at $600/ct: larger clean stones are exponentially rarer. Commercial grades run $180-$900/ct, fine grades $900-$3,500/ct, and exceptional Colombian or Zambian unenhanced material starts at $4,000/ct. TrueSanity's emerald price per carat figures are published at listing, not revealed on request. This is the Transparency Manifest in action.

Green Emerald Authenticity
Every authentic emerald in this collection ships with its full documentation.
Authentic Emerald Verification
Authentic emerald identification requires distinguishing natural green beryl from synthetic, simulant (green glass, tsavorite, tourmaline), and treated stones with undisclosed resin filling. TrueSanity sources only GIA, AGL, or Gübelin-graded authentic emerald material, with every stone's enhancement status declared at listing: none, minor (F1 cedar oil only), or significant. The Transparency Manifest itemizes the lab report number, treatment status, and origin opinion. Verify your stone's authenticity before purchase, not after.
Emerald Jewel Quality Standards
Emerald jewel quality at TrueSanity is graded on a four-point scale: Commercial (visible jardin, moderate color), Fine (eye-clean at 6 inches, strong color), Precious (high clarity, vivid saturation, Colombian or Zambian origin), and Collection (museum-grade, unenhanced, documented provenance). Each grade maps directly to the emerald price per carat tier visible at listing. The Transparency Manifest specifies which quality tier applies and why, with the gemologist's color and clarity notes included. No emerald jewel on this site is listed above its actual grade.
