Columbia
Good Emerald specimens by definition almost always end up jewelry – simply because the mining companies get a return on their investment faster and easier by selling cut gemstones.As a direct result,matrix specimens of great color and excellent form are the exception and not the rule.
This specimen was from Columbia,the Emerald crystal is grown on the calcite matrix,and it is gemmy and completely transparent allowing the viewer to look into the interior of the crystal.Luster is glassy,which only adds to the transparency.It has a bright emerald color.The form of the crystal is complete.The green color Emerald crystal and the white calcite matrix stand in sharp contrast,make the specimen is more rare.
