Also known as Siberian emeralds, they come usually in a lighter color with a yellowish or golden tint, giving them a pastel green color most of the time, but color saturation remains top notch. The transparency and clarity of Russian emeralds are high-end with great brilliance (luster). The superior high-quality emeralds mined in the Russia region are of vivid green even color with big sizes. Some of the best specimens of emeralds on earth have also been found in Russian province.
As most rough extracted here is of light color, which is often green beryl and not an emerald but are bright in appearance. The very light finished Russian origin emeralds with prominent inclusions start at $5-$20/carat, but if Russian emeralds catch deeper color with saturation in clarity and have shine & luster in big size, then those will be rare and high priced gemstones and can sell over $1000-$3000/ct.
The mines are scattered across the country from the west of the country to the south; some major mining areas include those of
Malysheva or Ural emerald mines in the region of Ekaterinburg near Ural mountain range; the old name of these mines was Mariinskoje mines, and the first discovery of emerald is known in the year 1830. The emerald mined here are also called Siberian emeralds, as Siberia before was a part of Russia's Ural region. Worlds best quality strong emerald gemstones that have been resourced here between the 19th and 20th centuries may be better than those of Muzo mines in Colombia, but unfortunately they were never popularized as Colombian emeralds and were traded in the name of Colombian emeralds to get more buyers, thus rates for them for them hiding the fame and name Russian emeralds have deserved.
The other mines include those of the regions of Mariinskoje, Lubinsky, Chinty, Troitzky, and Ostrowsky.
Also, Stretiensky and Krasnobolotsky produce emerald rough and are operational till date.

These are slowly stimulating up their position in the demand from global markets due to their superior purity in color. From the past 50 years, Brazil has been a consistent producer of natural emerald gemstones. Emeralds from Brazil were considered of subdued quality, but then perception changed, and now top-quality, clean clarity, and vivid green-colored emeralds with transparency and great luster/brilliance are also getting mined in the Itabira-Nova Era belt of Minas Gerais, and they fetch a huge price per carat in the market.
Brazil emeralds are usually heavily included, semitransparent, and finished. Brazil emerald rates start at $10/ct, and top transparent gems will be USD 500-800 per carat. As with other gems, the color saturation with intensity and clarity determines the quality of a Brazilian emerald.
The color in emeralds is due to the presence of chromium and vandium. The Brazil-origin emeralds have much vandium present in them, and because of this, emeralds from Brazil have more deep green colors.
Clarity: these emeralds are barely found without heavy inclusions, so a transparent emerald with fewer inclusions is considered superior.
Luster/brilliance of these stones is many times not at par, but rough crystal coming from newly discovered pits is in appropriate spark and transparency and getting more acceptance in jewelry making; thus, more new demands are getting them a good price.
Cut: a skilled cut brings out the maximum beauty of the stone in terms of the 3 C's, which are planning of rough about size, shape, and sides of the table and pavilion are decided, then comes the cutting, faceting, and polishing, which brings out the true value of the emerald manufactured from a rough crystal.
Due to the saturated deep color in emeralds of new Brazilian mines, it is acclerating in popularity and price towards the highly valued ones of Zambian or Swat origin.
The Belmont mines produce almost 40% of the total produce in Brazil and the Itabira-NNova Era belt. Capoeirana and Montebello are other major mines producing emeralds. Sakota is a region near these mines that produce deep green emeralds, which are mostly imported by manufacturers in India. The color of Sakota emeralds is pure green, but transparency is not there; they are usually semi-transparent to opaque.
Buyers were more inclined to value emeralds on the basis of origin, but now they are becoming more educated about quality and are shifting to paying a premium on the quality of the gem rather than just the origin. Also, buyers are now considering other shapes like oval and pear cut instead of just traditional emerald or octagon step cut.
