Welcome to COLOMBIAVERDESTORE, we are a new store and we want to offer you the best quality Colombian emeralds as possible for a fair and a reasonable price, We get the rough stones directly from the mines of Muzo, Chivor, Coscuez and La pita, we cut and polish the rough material in Bogotá and finally they go to our hands, we are working really hard to certify our emeralds with a modern and reliable gemological laboratory at the emerald trade center, located in Bogotá, Colombia, therefore all our emeralds are 100% certified.
Finest quality intense green color emeralds

La Pita Mine is known for the finest quality intense green color emeralds. It lies between Muzo and Cosquez in the Maripi mining district of the Boyaca Department along the aptly named Rio Minero(translates to Mining River).

This mine is thought to contain one of the largest emerald deposits in Colombia and has become arguably the most commercially important emerald mine currently being exploited in Colombia, accounting for 30 to 55 percent of the annual Colombian emerald production. In recent years production has been drastically high.

TRAPICHE EMERALDS FROM COLOMBIA
Colombian trapiche emeralds were first described by the French mineralogist Emile Bertrand (1879), in a meeting at the Société Géologique de France, in which he presented “curious crystals of emerald… from Muso, New Granada.” All 40 samples displayed a nearly colorless hexagonal center surrounded by a green portion. The latter is described as having striations parallel to the sides of the central hexagon and with “modifications” in the directions tangential to the sides of the hexagon. No further information was added about the composition or the nature of the “modifications.” Bergt (1899) described a cut trapiche emerald from Muzo received by the geologist Stübel in 1868. Similar emeralds were reported by Codazzi (1915) in an accurate listing of Muzo’s minerals. These emeralds were reported to have a cyclic twinning, as observed in aragonite. This contradicted the optical observations of Pogue (1916), who stated that these emeralds were not twinned. According to Pogue, the presence of re-entrant angles was due to “the effect of solution, the disposition of carbonaceous inclusions and the crystallizing forces, as shown also, for example, in chiastolite.” It is worth noting that the Pogue study contained the first mention of inclusions of carbonaceous matter in the emeralds, “arranged in a six-rayed centering about a tapering hexagonal core".

Geologically speaking, Colombian emeralds are said to be the purest emeralds in the world because Colombian emerald deposits are the only ones on earth found in sedimentary host rock rather than in Igneous rock. The tectonic movements that created the Andes Mountains force the raw materials of emeralds—beryllium, chromium, and vanadium—found in the ground into liquid and gaseous states. These materials, in such states, find their way into cracks in the already sedimentary medium surrounding them and then eventually cool and crystallize. A saline solution found in the sedimentary rock eventually washes out impurities such as iron that cloud other beryls from forming onto the crystallizing stone. This intricate process produces the emeralds found in the mines of Colombia.

An emerald is actually a beryllium stone that owes its special color to beryllium, chromium, and vanadium, all of which are chemical elements that are very scarce, and the reason for the color of an emerald. Colombian emeralds are much sought after, and not just because of their superb quality and color. A gem's value depends upon its size, purity, color and brilliance. Even when they are mined in the same area, each individual emerald has its own unique look that sets it apart from the rest. Dark green is considered to be the most beautiful, scarce, and valuable color for emeralds. An emerald of this color is considered rare and is only found in the deepest mines of Colombia.
