Natural emeralds usually have inclusions, unlike other clear gemstones such as tanzanite or aquamarine. The term “clarity feature” in gems refers to the inclusions and flaws in an emerald. Sometimes invisible to the naked eye, these are the unique fingerprints of natural gemstones and serve as proof of authenticity. This is why eye-clean emeralds are extremely rare and highly valuable.
The higher the carats in precious gemstones, the higher their price tends to be. However, if the carat weight is high but other qualities like color, tone, and cut aren’t exceptional, even a large emerald might not be very expensive.
