AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This specimen features an emerald crystal characteristic of the finest specimens from the Peñas Blancas area. The principal crystal exhibits a hexagonal euhedral prismatic habit, with bright lateral faces and a clean basal pinacoid termination. It shows acceptable transparency, even suitable for jewelry.
The emerald emerges from a white calcite matrix, providing a very harmonious chromatic contrast that highlights the central piece. Unlike the emeralds from Muzo or Chivor, the specimens from Peñas Blancas are valued for their vitreous luster and their structural robustness within the matrix.
