The Muzo Trapiche Emeralds Collection

by: harshil - October 16th, 2011 Filed under: Product Updates Add Comment

This week we present an lavish collection of Trapiche Emeralds mined from the Muzo Mines in Colombia. We were lucky enough to buy out from an old retired German gem-dealer his lifetime collection of Trapiche emeralds. The gentleman used to buy & sell Colombian emeralds in bulk and he would personally travel to the Muzo and Chivor mines in Colombia to buy his stuff. As a by-product, over the years he built this beautiful collection one stone at a time.
