  • Catalogue Essay

    This Colombian emerald is endowed with a very special internal characteristic that is ‘known in the trade for decades as the term gota de aceite (Spanish for 'drop of oil')', as mentioned in the SSEF report. This is also poetically referred to as 'aleta de mariposa effect (Spanish for ‘butterfly wing’ effect), thus adding to its specific beauty and charm.'
