Discovered in March 2020, in the Chama pit of the Kagem emerald mine, this ‘Kafubu Cluster’ weighs 37,555-grams (187,775 carats). The cluster reveals that it contains very little matrix or other minerals, meaning the piece is almost entirely made up of emeralds. Its large mass is filled with numerous individual and intertwined emerald crystals, displaying their perfect hexagonal structure. Its name honors the unique landscape in which it was formed. Kafubu was sold at a Gemfields auction in November 2022 for a record-breaking but undisclosed price.
