Low grade Emerald

Hello to everyone we manage at least to obtein an Emerald mine license in Zambia , ourcproduction is 2 kg per months but everything is low grade.
Opaque, crack inside, color not nice etc etc.
We try to cut some pueces but the result is still low quality. What we can do for make money for this 2 kg off Raw Emerald every month? Any suggestion?

Hi,
Sell the stones as healing stones to people that practise meditation and yoga.

Cut it in beads or cabochons. Sell any nicely terminated pieces on etsy or ebay.

depends on your price there are people that will use it for lapidary practice or for art. id rather mess up a practice piece then a 20,000$ rock. also find someone in the production of emeralds maybe you can strike a deal where u provide them with seeds for something in return. people will buy synthetics made from the real deal just as fast as the real deal. ofcourse for a cheaper price if im not mistaken.
