Bahia Emerald:  850 lb. Crystal Held in Police Custody

The 180,000 carat Bahia Emerald was originaly found in a Brazilian Mine in July, 2001.  The giant gemstone, estimated to be worth up to 370 million dollars, was reportedly carried by man and mule on an 11 month, 700 mile, journey through the jungle.  From there it was appraised and shipped to the United States.  In 2008 the World's Second Largest Emerald went missing.  It was then traced to a warehouse in Las Vegas, where investigators said that falsified papers had been used to steal the stone.  When the buyer, seller, and selling company all claimed ownership to the stone, a federal judge ordered the Sherrif's Dept. to hold the stone until the true owner could be identified.  As of May 2009, at least 2 more people have claimed ownership and the giant emerald is still in police custody.  (See the CNN News Release)

Fun Fact:  Trapiche Emeralds:  One of the Rarest Crystals on Earth!

The "Trapiche Emerald" occurs less than a fraction of 1% often than Emerald itself, and only in a couple locations on Earth.  This is quite amazing considering that Emeralds in general are already more rare than Diamonds.  Besides being extremely rare, Tapiche Emeralds are set apart by their six distinct rays, like the spokes of a wheel.  The unusual pattern is caused by "impurities" that were pushed along the six sectors of the green beryl crystal as it grew.  This beautiful "Star Emerald" is certainly something special, as its price tag implies.     (Learn More)

Emeralds are found in many countries, but where are the most prized Emeralds found?
The most prized Emeralds come from Columbia, although they are also found in the United States, Austrailia, Pakistan, Russia, India, Egypt, South Africa, and Norway.  Emerald, of the Beryl family, gets its color from Chromium and Vanadium.  When the Spanish first came to South America, hundreds of years ago, emeralds were already prized and traded by the Aztecs, Incas, and Toltec Natives!
