Emerald crystal on matrix from Muzo, Western Emerald Belt, Boyacá, Colombia.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Specimen from the legendary locality of Muzo, Colombia. The set is dominated by a prismatic emerald crystal, standing upright and centrally within its matrix, maximizing its visual impact. Morphologically, the emerald is in close paragenetic association with grayish calcite crystals with a defined habit. The aesthetic of the specimen is harmonious, highlighting the chromatic contrast between the intense color of the beryl, the gray of the calcites, and the dark background of the black shale that forms the host rock.
