This extremely rare 1.88 caratĀ AtochaĀ shipwreck emerald is one of the finest quality emeralds ever found being graded as a "Class 1A" stone. It was mined from the famous Muzo emerald mine in Colombia just prior to being smuggled on board theĀ AtochaĀ in 1622. After being lost for nearly 400 years in the tragic sinking of the 1622 Fleet ships on September 6, 1622, it was found once again by the Mel Fisher salvage team in 1994 very close to the famousĀ AtochaĀ "Motherload" area. It was then tagged and recorded by the crew and conserved by our laboratory staff. Once fully documented in our artifact database, it was evaluated by Colombian emerald expert Manuel Marcial de Gomar as one of the highest quality emeralds ever found on theĀ AtochaĀ site. It has beenĀ cut andĀ is ready to be set in a custom mounting of your choice to be worn as a stunning pendant, ring or added to a gold coin mounting as a crowning jewel.
