Only precious beryl variety and part of the prestigious trinity of colourful precious stones with ruby and sapphire corundum, emerald has an unique place in history and has been highly valued for its extraordinary shades of green since more than 4000 years.
It became in use as a commodity money in the Fertile Crescent and decorated the powerful Pharaoh's sarcophagus.
The name emerald itself derives from 'zamarat' in Persian, meaning heart of stone, literally the most essential and highest spiritual value 'organ' the mountains can offer.

Here is a perfect specimen of the highest quality, on matrix, from the most famous locality for this precious stone and main provider of fine jewellery-grade crystals: Muzo, in the Colombian Andes!

It features a super bright and perfectly gem green emerald colour crystal of 0.5 cm long on a contrasting grey schist-included calcite matrix.

Notice that most emeralds from Muzo are sold for jewellery use since miners can get much more money selling them to the luxury industry than as mineral specimens. It is consequently quite hard today to obtain a quality emerald specimen at a fair price for a collector.
I was lucky to buy a 'sleeping' stock from the 2000's, which allows me to offer this specimen up for auction: this is by far the biggest crystal on matrix!

An unique opportunity to obtain a perfect gem emerald on matrix from Colombia!

Grezzo davvero molto particolare e bellissimo!!! Soddisfattissima del mio nuovo pezzo da collezione! L'attesa lunghissima non è stata colpa del venditore, ma di uno sciopero del corriere.
