Emeralds are one of the most expensive gemstones in the world, and they have been valued for millennia. The two well-known mines for this famous green gemstone are in Colombia (South America) and Zambia (Africa) (Africa). Colombian emeralds have long been regarded as the best, but Zambian emeralds are proving to be a worthy rival.

Colombia has always been at the forefront of the emerald trade. Between 70% and 90% of the world's emeralds are produced in Colombia. Colombian emeralds are highly prized for their high quality and vivid colour. Because of the presence of chromium, Colombian emeralds are mostly green. They have a lovely dark leafy green colour that is highly appealing.

Zambian emeralds, on the other hand, have grown in popularity in recent years as purchasers recognize the exceptional quality of these stones. Zambian emeralds remain far less expensive than Colombian emeralds. Zambian emeralds are clearer than Colombian emeralds and have a coveted brilliant green-bluish colour due to the presence of iron. Despite the fact that their price has steadily risen, Zambian emeralds remain an excellent choice if you want a stunning emerald. Colombian emeralds are dark green, whilst Zambian emeralds have a blue tint to them, adding to the stone's depth.

Here's a short review of the main differences:
• Colombian emeralds have a darker green, but Zambian emeralds include a tinge of blue that adds to the depth of the stone.

• Zambian emeralds are also more transparent than those from other nations, with fewer inclusions.

• Zambian emeralds are less costly than Colombian emeralds, making them a good value for money choice.

• Due to Colombia's reputation for high-quality emeralds, Colombian emeralds are more valued.

• Colombian emeralds may be more challenging to cut because to their composition and colour dispersion.
