The Zambian emeralds are found as semi transparent to shining transparent usually and more transparent stones with light and luster are better simply. The lesser the inclusions present the cleaner the stone will look making it pricey, also no open cracks should be there on the surface otherwise with open fissures stone will fall in rejection category.
