This is a natural canutillo emerald, weighing approximately 1.77 carats, with measurements of 4.60 by 4.30 by 12.11 millimeters.

Now let me explain something very important…

What is a canutillo?

A canutillo is actually the original way an emerald is formed inside the mine.

Before any cutting, before any polishing… this is how nature creates it.

Emeralds grow deep inside the earth when mineral-rich fluids enter small cracks in the rock under very specific pressure and temperature conditions.

When the space inside those cracks is narrow and limited, the crystal cannot grow wide…

👉 So instead, it grows long and tubular, forming this elongated hexagonal structure that we call canutillo.

That means something very special:

This emerald has not been shaped by humans… it has been shaped by nature itself.

Most emeralds in jewelry are cut from larger crystals to improve brilliance and symmetry.

But canutillos are different…

They are natural crystals preserved in their original form, which makes them highly collectible and unique.

Now, let’s talk about its origin…

This emerald comes from the legendary Chivor mine, one of the oldest and most historic emerald mines in the world.

Chivor is located in the eastern Andes of Colombia, in the department of Boyacá.

This mine has been known since pre-Columbian times and was highly valued by indigenous cultures long before the Spanish arrived.

Emeralds from Chivor are famous for their slightly bluish-green tone, giving them a cooler, elegant, and very sophisticated appearance.

Unlike other regions, Chivor stones often show a deeper and more refined green—highly appreciated by collectors.

In terms of quality, this emerald shows natural inclusions, which are completely normal and expected.

In fact, these inclusions are like fingerprints… they confirm that the stone is natural and tell the story of its formation.

This piece has a moderate clarity enhancement, type F2, using liquid resin.

This is a standard and accepted practice in the emerald world, improving transparency while preserving the natural character of the stone.

And for your confidence…

This emerald comes with an authenticity certificate, which you can verify online through a QR code.

You can scan it and access all the details instantly—full transparency and trust.

What makes this piece truly special is its authenticity and energy…

This is not just a gemstone prepared for jewelry…

This is a natural crystal, exactly as it came from the Earth.

You are not just buying an emerald…

You are owning a piece of Colombia, a piece of history, and a natural formation created millions of years ago.

Remember… pieces like this are one of a kind.

There is only one available.
