I came across this piece of Emerald yesterday during visit to main gemstone market. I don't think I've ever seen such a beautiful piece of Emerald from Panjsher, Afghanistan. Very clean, and extraordinarily beautiful. Weight is about 2.8 carat.

Is it possible that it is actually from this new deposit that has been producing this kind of quality recently?

Probably it is, because that's the first time I've seen such a clear emerald from Panjsher. But I am not sure, though. Will have to confirm

it is a very nice gem. I have to ask though, has it been in any legit labs for identifying.

Yes, the person has a certificate from a domestic lab. The guy at the lab has taken a GIA course on gemstones and their identification. Also, the dealer has been in business for long. The people I asked confirmed that he doesn't sell second-grade materials and only good-grade, authentic ones.
