For hundreds of years, the mines of Colombia have yielded many of the world’s finest emeralds. They were known to the Indian inhabitants prior to the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors in the 1500s. After being introduced to emeralds in the spring of 1537 as a gift from the Boyacá Indians, over the following decades it was the Spanish who began to send them from what they called “New Grenada” back to Europe. Although emeralds had previously been known from Egypt and a small mining area in Austria (and perhaps from Central Asia), the material from Colombia was of much better quality. There are three main mining areas in the country – Muzo, Coscuez, and Chivor – located in two mountain belts 50 to 80 kilometers northeast of Bogotá.
