Cabochon Trapiche Emeralds exhibit one of the most striking features - the exotic star shape which makes them unique in the emerald family and some of the rarest and most beautiful gemstones. These emeralds display six spokes emanating from the core of the emerald exhibiting unique hexagonal symmetry giving the illusion of a star shape. The cabochon cut adds to the effect as the stone is polished into a smooth round shape further making the elaborate trapiche pattern more visible.
The distinctive mineral structure of the gemstone along with the unique geological formation give trapiche emeralds their name. The impurities in the gemstone crystal cause natural separation along the growth zones darkening the resulting spokes like inclusions. These emeralds are chiefly mined in Colombia making them highly sought after by collectors and gem lovers due to their distinct aesthetic appeal and rarity.
The cabochon shape adds to the fierce beauty of the gem. In this shape, the gem is flat at the bottom and its top surface is like a dome. It increases the beauty of the gem and makes it visually appealing.
