Colombian Emerald / Esmeralda Colombiana

The book Colombian Emerald / Esmeralda Colombiana offers a clear, well-documented look at Colombian emeralds: history; the historic mines of Muzo and Chivor; gemology and treatments; today’s market; and a practical buying guide. Richly illustrated and written by field specialists for collectors, jewelers and curious readers, it also brings a genuinely passionate view of a market driven by remarkable people—a tribute to those who work the stone from the mines of Boyacá to the offices of Bogotá—and a complete look at the history, the community, and the future of production with emerging sites such as Las Pavas.
