This is a 57,000-carat emerald, which is said to be the world’s largest.
The giant jewel weighs 11.5 kilograms and is around 12 inches long and was recently appraised at $1.15 million since it is only a rough cut stone.
The emerald was discovered in Brazil and cut in India. Rare gem dealer Regan Reany of Calgary got an email about the stone and thought it was too good to be true. But the emerald is, in fact, very real.
“The gemstone is named ‘Teodora’ and rough translation is ‘God’s Gift’”
To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Opera Houses, designed by Danish Architect Jorn Utzon it seemed only fit that Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark and Australian born Pricess Mary came out for the occasion.
As well as attending the high profile event they also made a visit to Sydney’s Five Dock Public School and a surprise visit to the regions affected by the recent bushfires.
We love Princess Mary’s classic style; she can go from casual jeans to an elegant look it seems without effort.
Here are some snap shots from their latest visits as well as of course some of our favorite looks we’ve seen from her so far.
