Among the most storied of all gems, we don’t often get to offer fine Trapiche Emeralds as the truly good ones are so few and far between - and that is before we address the possibility of a matched pair! The unique spoke like pattern of their carbon inclusions cause the immediately recognizable fixed star - the name comes from the type of grinding wheel used locally for sugarcane. It is extraordinarily difficult to fine gems that check all the boxes; that is, they have a well centered pattern, fine color, good size, and otherwise excellent clarity. Now, imagine a fine crystal large and consistent enough to cut a matched pair. Extraordinarily beautiful, the color is fantastic and we love the hexagonal outline to mimic the crystal shape. Moreover, the luster is great - the polish over the surfaces is superb.
