Welcome to Lunariagems!

It is indeed a pleasure to showcase this beautiful and very rare Colombian Muzo rough trapiche emerald, this emerald is definitely a rarity, it was mined in the Carare river and its origin is Muzo it has a Pumpkin-like shape due to the flow of the water along millions of years, this stone has a collector’s grade.

The Carare River is a unique location in Santander, Colombia, where emeralds can be found along the river's shores, allowing for surface mining with simple tools like a pick and shovel. This makes the Carare region a distinct place for emerald hunting, different from the major underground mines like Muzo and Chivor which are more established but also known for their high-quality gems.

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.
