Characteristics of Muzo Mine

This colour is the most prestigious green, said to be that of a particular butterfly (mariposa in Spanish) which occurs only in the Muzo area.

Crystal characteristics of Muzo emeralds

These crystals do not form clusters or aggregates. However, Muzo emeralds tend to be shorter than those from Chivor. Muzo emerald crystals tend to have a more saturated colour.

Geologically speaking, Colombian emeralds are said to be the purest emeralds in the world because Colombian emerald deposits are the only ones on earth found in sedimentary host rock rather than in Igneous rock. The tectonic movements that created the Andes Mountains force the raw materials of emeralds—beryllium, chromium, and vanadium—found in the ground into liquid and gaseous states. These materials, in such states, find their way into cracks in the already sedimentary medium surrounding them and then eventually cool and crystallize. A saline solution found in the sedimentary rock eventually washes out impurities such as iron that cloud other beryls from forming onto the crystallizing stone. This intricate process produces the emeralds found in the mines of Colombia.

An emerald is actually a beryllium stone that owes its special color to beryllium, chromium, and vanadium, all of which are chemical elements that are very scarce, and the reason for the color of an emerald. Colombian emeralds are much sought after, and not just because of their superb quality and color. A gem's value depends upon its size, purity, color and brilliance. Even when they are mined in the same area, each individual emerald has its own unique look that sets it apart from the rest. Dark green is considered to be the most beautiful, scarce, and valuable color for emeralds. An emerald of this color is considered rare and is only found in the deepest mines of Colombia.

More well-known as rare inclusions in emeralds, parisite crystals are usually small and seldom faceted.

What is Parisite?

Parisite is a group of rare-earth fluorocarbonate minerals. All members of this group are very rare, but the cerium-dominant member, parisite-(Ce) is the most common. The group also includes a neodymium-dominant member, parisite-(Nd) and a lanthanum-dominant member, parisite-(La). Unless otherwise noted, the parisites discussed in this article are of the Ce-dominant variety.

Parisites are most well-known as inclusions within emeralds from Muzo, Colombia. In fact, when found in emeralds, these inclusions are diagnostic of Colombian origins. However, these inclusions occur infrequently.

When parisites occur as larger crystals, they’re still usually quite small and very included themselves. These crystals seldom have areas clean or large enough to facet. Mineral collectors prize these specimens, too, which makes faceted pieces especially hard to come by.
