Colombia is famous for several different exports, but few people know that Colombian emeralds account for 70–90% of the world’s emerald market and are said to be among the purest emeralds in the world. While buying emeralds in Colombia is easy to do, there are several things prospective emerald buyers should be aware of, so here is everything you need to know about buying these jewels so that you get the best deal possible. Colombian emeralds are globally famous for their quality, and many people come to Colombia with their eye on taking home a beautiful emerald of their very own or as a gift. However, there are important things to be aware of when looking to purchase a Colombian emerald.

This huge price differential largely depends on the quality of the stone: those that cost closer to $50 are younger emerald formations which are more opaque and light in colour, and probably have a more turquoise colouration. On the other hand, the emeralds that are going to have you parting with thousands of dollars formed over almost 40 million years and are translucent and dark green. Even a tiny little stone of this quality is going to cost a minimum of a few hundred dollars. While the colour of the stone is key in determining price, it’s also important to inspect the stone for inclusions – such as air bubbles or internal crystals – which can lower the price. A lighter stone with fewer inclusions than a darker one is likely to cost more, in spite of their respective colours. A variety of Colombian emerald © MAURO CATEB/Flickr
