EMERALD IN BIOTITE-PHLOGOPITE-QUARTZ MATRIX – GRADE A CRYSTAL (7.7 & 6.9 ct) | PAIR OF HANDMADE ORGANIC 18K GOLD-PLATED PENDANT EARRINGS
Discover Brazilian mineral beauty in a pair of Geo-jewels that preserves raw Emerald in its natural Biotite/Phlogopite and Quartz matrix. With gemstones weighing approximately 7.7 and 6.9 ct, these earrings combine organic forms, authentic crystals and handcrafted wire wrapping, highlighting textures, hues and irregularities created by nature itself.
Each piece is singular: two Grade A Emerald crystals with an attractive green color, opaque appearance, approximately 10% to 25% matrix and subhedral prismatic habit. The contrast between the Emerald green, the darker tones and luster of the micas, and the lighter Quartz areas creates a striking mineral composition, transformed into original jewelry with an 18K gold-plated finish.
ORIGIN & THE SCIENCE OF BEAUTY
Emerald is the green variety of Beryl, an aluminum beryllium cyclosilicate with the ideal formula Be₃Al₂Si₆O₁₈. It crystallizes in the hexagonal system, and its color is mainly related to trace elements such as chromium and vanadium, with iron also potentially influencing the hue. Natural inclusions, fissures and fractures record its growth history and, in raw specimens, reinforce its mineralogical identity.
These Emeralds originate from the Serra da Carnaíba region, Campo Formoso, Bahia, Brazil, one of the country's classic emerald occurrences. In this district, the association Emerald + Phlogopite/Biotite + Quartz/Albite is particularly significant and related to metasomatic interaction between rocks and mineralizing fluids. Preserving part of this matrix in the Geo-jewel reveals not only the gemstone, but also traces of its original geological environment.
SYMBOLISM & ENERGY – TRADITIONAL PERSPECTIVE
Since antiquity, Emerald has been symbolically associated with nature, love, fertility, renewal, hope and prosperity. In contemporary crystal traditions, it is linked to compassion, gratitude, abundance, emotional balance and openness to new cycles. These associations belong to cultural, spiritual and metaphysical traditions and are not scientifically proven medical properties.
CHAKRAS
Traditionally associated with the Heart Chakra – Anahata, Emerald represents green energy connected with love, compassion, emotional bonds, acceptance, hope, prosperity and renewal.
ZODIAC
In the correspondence system adopted by LAZZERINI-GEOJOIAS, Emerald is especially associated with Taurus, Gemini and Aries. It is also traditionally recognized as the birthstone for May.
