This is typical Nigerian emerald\ green beryl faceting rough, a light bluish green, and a little cleaner than most emeralds. Though a few of these show a possible trace of chromium, I believe they are vanadium colored. This is being called emerald in Nigeria. The real nice thing about this rough material is the price which is, as usual, lower than the deeper colored Colombian or Brazilian emerald, and a bit more available to hobby cutters. We have 1 grade left.
