A genuine Colombian emerald crystal resting in its original calcite matrix, sourced from the El Sufrimiento / Coscuez Mine in Boyacá. The vivid bluish-green colour contrasts beautifully with the pale host rock, giving an authentic glimpse into how emeralds form inside Colombia’s emerald belt. This piece shows natural prism growth faces, bright colour zoning, and the classic matrix association collectors look for.

At 5.55 carats and approximately 16 × 11 mm, this is a compact, display-grade specimen with a well-balanced profile and solid aesthetic presence. Ideal for collectors, geologists, or anyone who values emeralds in their natural geological context. The calcite host is typical of this mine’s carbonate-rich veins, lending a light, clean appearance that enhances the emerald’s natural colour. Perfect for display, education, or thoughtful gifting during the May birthstone season.
