Documented collection fact: The Smithsonian lists the Mackay emerald and diamond necklace, with a 168-carat emerald, among the highlights of its permanent Hall of Geology, Gems, and Minerals.

EXIMUTC Market View

A documented museum specimen has a recorded identity and setting. Its 168-carat weight does not establish the quality or value of a different emerald; EXIMUTC evaluates each stone's color, clarity, treatment and report separately.
