Trapiche Emeralds are perhaps best described as an extraordinary work of nature because of their exquisite, rare six-spoke radial form. Unlike classic emeralds, these gems exhibit a distinct wheel-like pattern due to the mineral inclusions during crystallization. Their beauty and rarity make them prized by those who collect unique gemstones and jewelry.
Emeralds that have six rays pointing out from the center of the stone naturally, creating a star-like pattern, are called Trapiche emeralds. But these gems were called Trapiche, because the pattern looks more like spokes of a wheel. It was named after the Spanish term “grinding wheel” for this reason.
They showcase extraordinary natural patterns formed by carbon inclusions. Unlike synthetic designs, Trapiche Emerald stone occur naturally, making each gem one of a kind. They are found primarily in Colombia, which makes them representative of geological artistry as well as unparalleled craftsmanship.
Craftsmanship and desirability give emeralds a very high market value. Here are the best benefits:
The Trapiche Emerald stone price range starts between INR 2000 to 60,000 per carat. The cost can vary as it is determined by the size, clarity, green color intensity, and pattern definition.
