Zambian emeralds are renowned for their exceptional quality and rich, vibrant green color, often attributed to the unique geological conditions of the Kafubu River region. Discovered in the 1970s, these emeralds are among the world’s finest, characterized by their clarity and deep hue, which is often more intense than emeralds from other regions. Zambia is now one of the leading producers of emeralds globally, with its stones highly sought after for both their beauty and rarity. Ethical mining practices in Zambian emerald production also highlight a commitment to sustainability, making these gems not just stunning but also responsibly sourced.
