The crystal reaches approximately 1.4 cm in length and therefore occupies a large part of the specimen, which measures only 2.2 cm overall. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"746\" data-end=\"1034\">The matrix measures 2.2 \u00d7 1.3 \u00d7 1.0 cm. Together with the 25 \u00d7 25 \u00d7 12 mm acrylic stand, the total weight is 12.7 g. Due to its compact dimensions, this is a thumbnail specimen, with the comparatively large Emerald crystal clearly forming the main focal point.  <\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"bauojn\" data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1080\">1.4 cm Emerald crystal on matrix<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1082\" data-end=\"1300\">The Emerald is prismatic in habit and shows the elongated crystal form characteristic of Beryl. Its vivid green color contrasts strongly with the dark gray matrix and the lighter mineralized areas. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1302\" data-end=\"1535\">The crystal is predominantly opaque to weakly translucent. In thinner or lighter-colored areas, some light can pass into the crystal. The crystal faces show a distinct luster.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1537\" data-end=\"1822\">With a size of approximately 1.4 cm, the Emerald clearly dominates the small matrix. At the same time, the natural relationship between crystal and host rock is preserved, giving the specimen additional mineralogical interest compared with a loose single crystal. <\/p>\n<h3 data-section-id=\"bnvh1h\" data-start=\"1824\" data-end=\"1880\">Emerald from Galer\u00eda Los Topos in the Chivor District<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1882\" data-end=\"2116\">Galer\u00eda Los Topos belongs to the Chivor emerald mining district in the Department of Boyac\u00e1. The Chivor District lies within Colombia\u2019s eastern emerald belt and is one of the country\u2019s historically important emerald-producing areas. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2118\" data-end=\"2456\">Colombian emerald deposits are characterized by the formation of Beryl within hydrothermally mineralized zones hosted by dark sedimentary rocks. The strong contrast between green Emerald crystals, light-colored mineralized veins and dark host rock is characteristic of many specimens from the Chivor region. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2458\" data-end=\"2704\">This specimen is particularly notable for the relationship between its small matrix and comparatively large Emerald crystal. The approximately 1.4 cm long crystal forms the central feature of the thumbnail specimen and is visible from several viewing angles. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2908\">Further information about Colombia\u2019s emerald regions, their geology and the deposits of the Chivor District can be found in my detailed article on the Emerald Regions of Colombia.<\/p>\n<div class=\"group TyagGW_tableContainer\">\n<div class=\"TyagGW_tableWrapper flex flex-col-reverse w-fit\" tabindex=\"-1\">\n<table class=\"w-fit min-w-(--thread-content-width)\" data-start=\"2933\" data-end=\"3601\">\n<thead data-start=\"2933\" data-end=\"2954\">\n<tr data-start=\"2933\" data-end=\"2954\">\n<th class=\"last:pe-10\" data-start=\"2933\" data-end=\"2943\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Feature<\/th>\n<th class=\"last:pe-10\" data-start=\"2943\" data-end=\"2954\" data-col-size=\"md\">Details<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"3601\">\n<tr data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"2986\">\n<td data-start=\"2965\" data-end=\"2975\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Mineral<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"2975\" data-end=\"2986\">Emerald<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"2987\" data-end=\"3010\">\n<td data-start=\"2987\" data-end=\"3000\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Mineral species <\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3000\" data-end=\"3010\">Beryl<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3011\" data-end=\"3078\">\n<td data-start=\"3011\" data-end=\"3021\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Locality<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3021\" data-end=\"3078\">Galer\u00eda Los Topos, Chivor District, Boyac\u00e1, Colombia<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3079\" data-end=\"3115\">\n<td data-start=\"3079\" data-end=\"3093\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Dimensions<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3093\" data-end=\"3115\">2.2 \u00d7 1.3 \u00d7 1.0 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3116\" data-end=\"3158\">\n<td data-start=\"3116\" data-end=\"3126\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Weight<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3126\" data-end=\"3158\">12.7 g including acrylic base<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3187\">\n<td data-start=\"3159\" data-end=\"3168\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Acrylic base<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3168\" data-end=\"3187\">25 \u00d7 25 \u00d7 12 mm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3188\" data-end=\"3216\">\n<td data-start=\"3188\" data-end=\"3203\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Size category<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3203\" data-end=\"3216\">Thumbnail<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3247\">\n<td data-start=\"3217\" data-end=\"3233\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Crystal size<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3233\" data-end=\"3247\">approx. 1,4 cm<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3248\" data-end=\"3264\">\n<td data-start=\"3248\" data-end=\"3256\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Color<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3256\" data-end=\"3264\">Vivid-green<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3265\" data-end=\"3326\">\n<td data-start=\"3265\" data-end=\"3279\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Transparency<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3279\" data-end=\"3326\">Predominantly opaque to weakly translucent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3327\" data-end=\"3356\">\n<td data-start=\"3327\" data-end=\"3335\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Luster<\/td>\n<td data-start=\"3335\" data-end=\"3356\" data-col-size=\"md\">Distinct luster<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3357\" data-end=\"3387\">\n<td data-start=\"3357\" data-end=\"3372\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Crystal habit<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3372\" data-end=\"3387\">Prismatic<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3388\" data-end=\"3459\">\n<td data-start=\"3388\" data-end=\"3408\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Crystal arrangement<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3408\" data-end=\"3459\">Single dominant Emerald crystal on matrix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3460\" data-end=\"3523\">\n<td data-start=\"3460\" data-end=\"3469\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Matrix<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3469\" data-end=\"3523\">Dark matrix with light-colored mineralized areas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr data-start=\"3524\" data-end=\"3601\">\n<td data-start=\"3524\" data-end=\"3539\" data-col-size=\"sm\">Special Feature<\/td>\n<td data-col-size=\"md\" data-start=\"3539\" data-end=\"3601\">1.4 cm Emerald crystal on a matrix only 2.2 cm in size<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Emerald specimen from Galer\u00eda Los Topos in the Chivor District, Boyac\u00e1, Colombia, shows a striking green Emerald crystal on a dark matrix with light-colored mineralized areas.
