Comment: For a Wikipedia article to be published, it must be notable. Something is notable if it has significant coverage in several independent, reliable sources.

The worlds largest uncut Emerald was named Chipembele 7,525-carat (1.505kg) Measurements 160.00X95.00X73.00mm, Chipembele meaning "rhino" whose discovery on 13 July 2021 by geologist Manas Banerjee and Richard Kapeta in Gemfields Kagem mine in Zambia, the discovery, they said, “left everyone speechless.” Kapeta shouted in joy, “look at this rhino horn!” And hence, the gemstone found its name.
Chipembele formed under near perfect conditions, allowing the combination of the elements to crystallise into large, distinct hexagonal crystal structures with glassy surfaces. The rich, golden green hue and gemmy nature of this emerald will be appealing to buyers looking to yield fine quality faceted emeralds after the cutting and polishing process.
The winning bidder for Chipembele will be given the option of a unique DNA nano-tag identity, developed by Provenance Proof, ensuring that the cut and polished gems that it yields can be identified and certified as having originated from this extraordinary gemstone.
