The Kagem mine is the world's single largest producing emerald mine, operated by Gemfields and responsible for approximately 25% of global emerald supply. Zambian emeralds from Kagem are prized for their slightly bluish-green color and higher clarity compared to Colombian stones, with iron-rich chemistry giving them a cooler tone. The mine employs modern, responsible mining practices and has become a model for ethical gemstone sourcing in the industry.
