Emerald is a precious stone of which worthiness is measured in carat, and five carat emerald weighs 1 gram. This means even three or five grams of emerald worth thousands of US dollars.

Then, think for a moment, if you had a really large emerald in your hands, and what’s more, in one piece.

Such a situation became real in Canada: a massive, 57,000-carat rough-cut opaque emerald, which weighs 11.5 kilograms will be sold at an auction.

A gift of God: Theodora

The emerald of 57 thousand-carat astonishes the visitors.

Regean Reaney is in business of selling precious stone and emerald, diamond, or ruby is so ordinary stones for him. However, a piece he put out of his bag is so precious, even for a man like him. The world’s largest emerald weighs 57 thousand-carat.

Her name is Theodora, the gift of God.

“I still can not believe that there is an emerald in this size. The security measures are at the highest now,” he said.

The stone has been tested for several times in order to check if it was real. Proving and confirming that Theodora is a real and pure emerald, Jeff Nechka said it was a lifetime experience for him.

“At first, I approached it with suspect for it is impossible to come across an emerald at that big in nature,” he added.

The precious stone was found in a mine in Brazil and worth more than a million. However, the exact price of the emerald is not set yet.

Theodora will be given to the one who will pay the highest at an auction to be held on January 28, in Canada.

"It's a very beautiful deep green. To me it's just a thing of beauty. It's spectacular. It's just nothing short of spectacular," said Western Star Auctions owner Mike Odenbach.
On Monday, the gem was appraised at $1.15 million, but Odenbach believes it could fetch much more.
"It's not unusual for gemstones to sell a lot higher than their appraised value, just depending on who wants to possess the largest emerald in the world. Really the sky's the limit," he said.
