What is a Trapiche Emerald?

Trapiche emeralds are a geological phenomenon found almost exclusively in Colombia’s legendary Muzo, Chivor, and PeƱas Blancas mines. These emeralds are unlike any other. Their iconicĀ six-pointed ā€œspoked wheelā€ patternĀ is formed by natural inclusions during crystal growth, creating a starburst unlike anything else in the gem world.

They areĀ not treated,Ā not replicated, andĀ not man-made.
They are natural, collectible, and rare.
