EMERALD2

This Emerald was recently mined in Columbia. It is gemmy and has a good green color that leans towards the blue range of the spectrum, which is indicative of Muzo emeralds. It has a bright pyrite crystal that is partially embedded in the Emerald. This aspect of the crystal makes it particularly unique. There are two other small indentations in the crystal where two other Pyrites used to be attached (as seen in "emerald2c"), and are not technically considered damage to the primary crystal. It weighs 4.02 carats.
