Emerald
Locality: Muzo Mine, Boyaca Dept., Colombia
2 Inch Full Crystal
This massive crystal weighs in at over 300 carats and is full throughout. Very FEW Colombian emeralds attain sizes of this magnitude, and of these a vanishingly small proportion survive “geology” itself within the type of crystals we might need as collectors after thousands and thousands of years within the floor. Then, they must survive mining, extraction, and people ruthless jewelers and faceters who break up pretty crystals for a sliver of tough inside.
