We also sold a magnificent quality emerald lately. This is the Zambian material that is treated only with colorless oil, so it is highly prized in the trade. All I could manage was a cell pic but it isn't a bad image, it just doesn't show how clear the stone is in real life. Because the clarity is so high, you see detailed brilliance. The color is amazing, and this material is extremely competitively priced if you have shopped Colombian stones. With vanadium as the coloring agent, instead of Colombian emerald which is colored by chromium, the color is a vivid, striking slightly bluish-Green.
My wife and I have a brand new office, and are transitioning from being "Tip Top Gem", as so many people knew us, to Paragon Universal Trade Co., Ltd, which is our newly established office in the gemstone district in Silom. Looking across from the 8th floor where my office is, you can see this view of the 67-story Jewelry Trade Center, the epicenter of the world's gemstone trade. I am a 60-second walk to the trade center.
This is my darling, the CEO, at her desk.
