CONT

Une autre particularité de certaines émeraudes de Colombie trouvées en 1964 est l'émeraude Trapiche [...] C'est un cristal hexagonal très mince autour duquel rayonnent six autres petits prismes d'émeraude. L'ensemble a un faciès hexagonal grâce à un béryl incolore ou peu coloré qui comble les vides entre les six prismes.
