Oil is a tranditional type of filling material used to reduce the visibility of fissures'; along with an appendix letter, stating that 'The combination of origin and quality elements for the emerald described...signifies a gem worthy of distinction. This 30.97 ct emerald has received the highest origin determination issued by AGL: Classic™ Colombia. This outstanding emerald also possesses a high clarity, providing a superior degree of transparency. Furthermore, this notable gem exhibits a very fine, richly saturated green color that is representative of top-quality emeralds from this auspicious source and a fine cut which complements the overall visual appeal of this remarkable gemstone. Emeralds of such color and quality are commonly referred to as "old-mine" emeralds and are considered to have originated from the Muzo mining district in Western flank of the Cordillera Oriental. Top-quality Colombian emeralds in excess of 30 cts are extremely rare. This combination of quality factors, large size and origin determination represents a particularly fine example of a Colombian emerald and a tribute to the delicate balance that nature must maintain to allow for such gems to form.';

The described gemstone exhibits an important size and weight of 30.977 ct. It is characterised by an attractive green colour and a fine purity, a combination rarely encountered in Colombian emeralds of this size... There is a long-established tradition in the trade to fill small fissures in emeralds with colourless oil to enhance their clarity.

A natural emerald from Colombia of this size and quality can be considered rare and exceptional.'
