Hailing from the exclusive emerald mines in Boyac, Columbia is the Trapiche Emerald. One of the rarest and most majestic patterned gemstones in the world. Trapiche Emerald also happens to be very limited in supply and therefore has been priced likewise in the international market.

Summary

Trapiche Emeralds are one of the rarest gemstones on earth

The only known source is South America - Columbia

Trapiche Emerald - Name Origin

Without a doubt, the Trapiche Emerald is one of the most mesmerizing creations of Mother Nature. The Trapiche Emerald gets its name due to the resemblance that its pattern bears with the heavy gears and spoked wheels that are used for grinding sugar cane in the local markets in Boyac, Columbia.

The Trapiche Emerald displays six spokes in a pattern of rays emerging from a hexagon shaped centre with the areas in between filled with a beautiful emerald green color. Although these rays look very much like asterism, they are static and do not react to light in anyway.

How Is A Trapiche Emerald Formed?

A Trapiche Emerald is formed because of an impurity in the sedimentary rock called Lutite. As the Emerald is growing the Lutite, which is black, is pushed towards the center of the crystal. It concentrates in the center of the crystal and along the six axis where the Emerald crystal is taking shape. This gives the Emerald the unique pattern of Trapiche.

This is entirely a natural process and absolutely stuns with its beauty. The first step in the formation of the Trapiche Emerald is its tapered core that grows under specific hydrothermal conditions found only in Columbia. This growth slows down considerably and even stops for a period of time during the formation process.

Next the conditions change and the emerald and albite begin to forme. The hexagonal centre of the crystal’s core maintains its pattern and uniformity and produce pure emerald. The edges lying between the hexagonal faces get filled by albite which results in the six formations of clear emerald and six separate formations of albite. This is what creates the emerald which makes the central core of the Trapiche Emerald and its six surrounding faces a single untwined crystal.

The principal color agent for Trapiche Emerald is vanadium. The Beryl center for the crystal that is in the shape of a hexagon is often transparent, colorless and/or green. The formations inside the Trapiche Emerald often represent various geometrical or non-geometrical shapes. You can use your imagination to guess the shape in the center of your Trapiche Emerald the next time you lay your eyes on one.

Where Trapiche Emerald is usually found?

The Trapiche Emerald is usually found in Columbia alone at Coscuez, Muzo and the La Pena mining district. Amongst these as well the finest and the most beautiful of the Trapiche Emeralds come from the majestic mines in the district of Muzo.

Is Trapiche Emerald Treated Before Sale?

Trapiche Emerald are often sold naturally and without treatment. The treatment can take forms and mostly consist of epoxy impregnation in the cracks or oil. However this treatment is common for all types of emeralds available in the market and are not limited to the Trapiche Emerald only.

[Vrijeme čitanja: 5 minuta]

Trapiche Emerald potječe iz ekskluzivnih rudnika smaragda u Boyacu, Columbia. Jedan od najrjeđih i najveličanstvenijih dragulja s uzorkom na svijetu. Trapiche Emerald također ima vrlo ograničenu ponudu i stoga ima istu cijenu na međunarodnom tržištu.

Sažetak

Trapiche smaragdi jedan su od najrjeđih dragulja na svijetu
Sastoji se od čistog smaragda (zelenog) s lutitom (crnog)
Jedini poznati izvor je Južna Amerika - Kolumbija

Trapiche Emerald - podrijetlo imena

Bez sumnje, smaragd Trapiche jedna je od najupečatljivijih kreacija majke prirode. Trapiche Emerald je dobio ime zbog sličnosti koju njegov uzorak nosi s teškim zupčanicima i kotačima sa žbicama koji se koriste za mljevenje šećerne trske na lokalnim tržnicama u Boyacu, Columbia.

Trapiche Emerald prikazuje šest žbica u uzorku zraka koje izlaze iz središta u obliku šesterokuta s područjima između ispunjenim prekrasnom smaragdnozelenom bojom. Iako ove zrake izgledaju vrlo slično asterizmu, one su statične i ionako ne reagiraju na svjetlost.

Kako nastaje Trapiche smaragd?

Trapiche smaragd nastaje zbog nečistoće u sedimentnoj stijeni koja se naziva lutit. Kako smaragd raste, lutit, koji je crn, gura se prema središtu kristala. Koncentrira se u središtu kristala i duž šest osi gdje smaragdni kristal poprima oblik. To Emeraldu daje jedinstveni uzorak Trapichea.

Ovo je potpuno prirodan proces i naprosto zadivljuje svojom ljepotom. Prvi korak u formiranju Trapiche Emerald je njegova sužena jezgra koja raste pod specifičnim hidrotermalnim uvjetima koji se mogu naći samo u Kolumbiji. Taj se rast znatno usporava i čak zaustavlja na neko vrijeme tijekom procesa formiranja.

Zatim se uvjeti mijenjaju i počinju se formirati smaragd i albit. Heksagonalno središte jezgre kristala održava njegov uzorak i ujednačenost i proizvodi čisti smaragd. Rubovi koji leže između šesterokutnih stranica ispunjeni su albitom što rezultira u šest formacija prozirnog smaragda i šest zasebnih formacija albita. To je ono što stvara smaragd koji čini središnju jezgru Trapiche Emerald i njegovih šest okolnih lica jednim neispletenim kristalom.

Glavno sredstvo za boju za Trapiche Emerald je vanadij. Središte berila za kristal koji je u obliku šesterokuta često je prozirno, bezbojno i/ili zeleno. Formacije unutar Trapiche Emerald često predstavljaju različite geometrijske ili negeometrijske oblike. Možete upotrijebiti svoju maštu kako biste pogodili oblik u središtu vašeg Trapiche Emerald sljedeći put kada ga ugledate.

Gdje se Trapiche Emerald obično nalazi?

Trapiche smaragd se obično nalazi samo u Kolumbiji u Coscuezu, Muzu i rudarskoj četvrti La Pena. Među njima također najbolji i najljepši smaragdi Trapiche dolaze iz veličanstvenih rudnika u okrugu Muzo.

Je li Trapiche Emerald tretiran prije prodaje?

Trapiche Emerald se često prodaje prirodno i bez tretmana. Tretman može biti u različitim oblicima i uglavnom se sastoji od epoksidne impregnacije u pukotinama ili ulja. Međutim, ovaj je tretman uobičajen za sve vrste smaragda dostupnih na tržištu i nije ograničen samo na Trapiche Emerald.
