Re: Best examples of trapiche emerald crystals?

Unique and exquisite Emerald specimen. An Emerald crystal with a scepter of an actual trapiche Emerald crystal and all gem. What a wonderful thrill to be the current care taker of this natures creation. I have seen Trapiche sharp emerald crystals. I have a fairly large (3-4 cm. in length) and dark colored one that I will have to find in the collection and photograph. Usually they are sliced up for gem cabochons and rarely get offered for collectors of the complete crystal. My son lives in Bogata, Colombia for 15 years, involved in specimen procurement.
