Certified Colombian Emeralds

The process of exploitation of emeralds is composed of a series of activities classified as high risk and great difficulty that demand intense physical effort and dedication. All the work of the mining of emeralds are very little technified and practically depends on the hands, strength and value of the Colombian miners who risk their daily life in search of the green dream to offer to the world the famous Colombian emeralds. The mines are located in the eastern mountain range, a mountain area with great vegetation whose predominant form of exploitation is the excavation of long tunnels that cross the interior of the mountains in search of the emerald veins.

Previously it was used the open-pit exploitation with explosives and heavy machinery that allowed to remove large amounts of earth and to advance of quickly form in search of the zones with the genesis for the formation of the crystals of emeralds, but this practice with the step of the Years was lagging behind because of the environmental impact it had on the region and all the emerald dealers have been looking for more environmentally friendly methods.

The success of these works depends on the knowledge and experience of our miners. The tunnels are elaborated obeying techniques of selective underground excavation, that follow a course where it is presumed a strip of mineralization can be, and they are based on the mineralogical behavior of the material that is being extracted Of the tunnel as it progresses. The success of these works depends on the knowledge and experience of our miners who, thanks to their knowledge of the areas acquired during decades of work, guide the course to follow in the tunnel, which does not always follow a horizontal course, is very frequent to find the Need to make changes of level and for this are built nails or snails that can reach 100 meters vertically.

The exploitation of emeralds by means of tunnels is a work that requires thousands of man-hours of work, great economic efforts, and often many years before he can find an emerald deposit, if God and good fortune allow it.The fame that Colombia has in being the largest producer of emeralds of the best quality, but it was not until after the seventies when its potential was really exploited.The emerald deposits in Colombia are located in the departments of Boyacá and Cundinamarca, specifically around Muzo, Chivor, Cozcues, Peñas Blancas, La Pita, Cunas and Gachalá, known for producing emeralds of the highest quality.

Prior to 1985 Esmeraldas Mines where open pit mines, in which extraction was carried out using backhoes. An operation that resembles the methods performed for the extraction of coal type B. Due to the negative impact on the environment, the Government of Colombia regulated the Extraction of Emeralds and since then, the extraction had to be carried out using tunnels. Tunneling is a fairly simple method for finding Esmeraldas deposits, where a tunnel is drawn in the direction of the reservoir. When the deposit is found specialized personnel are extracted from the Emeralds.The rules on industrial safety and environmental issues have become stricter and have gone to great lengths to meet the criteria.
