A rough 1064-carat emerald from the legendary Muzo mine in Colombia has just been unearthed. This discovery, of inestimable rarity, is the work of Emerald, a company specializing in exceptional emeralds.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

It is said that the color of this variety of beryl<\/b> comes from traces of chromium and vanadium, and sometimes even iron.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Associated with heart and love,<\/b> the emerald<\/b>, this green gemstone, is said to have protective properties against disease and even the ability to read the future. <\/b>In some ancient cultures, it was also believed to have the power to promote fertility<\/b>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Muisca<\/b> (or Chibcha) civilization<\/b>, which was based in what is now Colombia, it is said that the emerald gemstones were the tears of a native called Fura, who had lost his wife, Tena.<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But it is on the lands of another neighboring ancient civilization, that of the Muzo or Emerald People<\/b>, on mining deposits 32 million years old<\/b>, that a stone exceptional in its size, color and crystallization<\/b> has been discovered. According to specialists, it is \u201cone of the largest and purest specimens ever discovered in the world of gemmology<\/b>\u201d.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A natural \u201canomaly\u201d<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

This 1064-carat emerald<\/b> is a record-breaker.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In terms of weight<\/b>, this gemstone joins the exclusive circle of exceptional emeralds discovered in the Muzo mine, alongside the Duke of Devonshire Emerald<\/b> (1383 carats) and the Patricia Emerald<\/b> (632 carats).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Its color is<\/b> also abnormally intense<\/b> with a deep green hue, characteristic of stones from the Muzo mines, renowned for their rich saturation and unparalleled purity.<\/p>\n
