Is grains, 1900 francs; and he cites one fine
stone of "a grains which was sold for 2,40O
francs.
The emerald is transparent or translucent.
being brittle and comparatively soft when
freshly mined, but becomes much harder on
exposure to air. The gem Is cut on a copper
wheel with emery and polished on a tin wheel
with rotten stone. In a good stone the sur
face must be perfectly straight and smooth,
the form usually given being that of b square
table with the edges replaced, the lower sur
face being cut into facets parallel to the sides.
The Colombian gems exhibit to the highest
degree the qualities of color, brilliancy, flaw
lessnes. and size characteristic of the best en-
eralds, and the Muzo district is at present the
principal source Of supply. The matrix In
which they are embedded oyerlies a great prec-
ipice of black shale or slate. This black rock
contains few stones. They are found for the
most part in white calcite running in veins
through the slate, some being embedded in
the matrix, and others lying In pockets.
Under great heat and pressure, due. no doubt
to further and subsequent volcanic action,
these minerals In the assures or veins have
crystallized in different shapes and forms &C
cording to the various minerals contained in
any particular vein or assure. Under favor
able circumstances, the most beautiful emer-
aids Of a deep green color have been found
in these small veins. the tint being due to the
presence of chrome In sufficient quantities. In
other veins. the emeralds found are Of a light
green color, wing to the absence Of SUFFICIENT
chrome. Again, In other veins, where NO
chrome is present, the crystals are pure white
or colored red cr yellow by oxide Of iron.
Many of the crystals are pure silica. and 9TH
ers have various minerals combined with
silica. @

The true emeralds OF the ancients are said
to have been obtained from the workings OF
Mount Zabarah, in upper Egypt. although the
reopening of the mines in the nineteenth cen
fury by Mehemet Ali did not prove CONNER
cially profitable. Ia this district was probably
mined the jewel adjoining the breastplate OF
Aaron, described in Mosaic writings and form
ing part. possibly, of the spoils carried from
Egypt by the departing Israelites. OF Egyptian
or Ethiopian origin is, undoubtedly, also, the
remarkable emerald in the papal tiara, one
inch in length and 1R inches deep, and which
formed part of the pontifical treasure prior
TO the discovery OF America and the subse-
quent appearance OF Peruvian gems In Eu-
rope.
The huge emerald used by Nero, In keep
ing with the belief of the times as a correc-
tive for his poor vision; the engraved emer-
aid set in gold presented by Ptolemy to Lu-
cullus on his landing at Alexandria; the robes
worn by Cleopatra and other famous beauties
of the past, whose embroideries were inter-
spersed with emeralds; and the exquisitely
craven seals of antique workmanship on view
Ia museums and private collections all prove
the esteem in which the jewel was held. Or
naments of emerald have been unearthed in
Theban tombs and eXcavated from POmpeii
and Herculaneum, and in all ages the stone
has been classed among the rarest OF gems.
Various virtues were ascribed to it by an
.cient traditions; it was regarded as beneficial
to the eyes: effective against evil spirits; and
in the east 1t is still accredited with talisman-
ic and medicinal qualities.
Immense .emeralds are mentioned by ancient
authors. but they were doubtless either less
precious stones or glasslike limitations, Such
was the colossal statue of Scraps; also an
obelis in the temple of Jupiter, 60 feet high
and 6 feet broad.
The oriental emerald is not, however, like
the western emerald, a silicate of alumina and
glucina. 1t is more valuable and is a green,
transparent variety of corundum, and there
fore nearly pure alumina, differing from the
sapphire only in color.
Peruvian emeralds were famed from the
time Pizarro sent the first specimens to
Europe among his spells of conquest. Many

latter figures the annual vaiuatlon OF inc
stones mined would be about 100000. A
French company at one time holding the lease
of the mines is reported to have worked for IA
months without finding a stone and then to
have obtained enough emeralds in a compare
lively short space of time to pay the rental for
the full term of the lease.
The Muzo mines are about IS miles north Of
Bogota, in the state of Boyaca, and extend over
an area of about 100000 acres, of which only
about so acres have been exploited in the last
% years. Their general appearance resembles
an inactive volcanic crater in the sides Of
which the emeralds are found.
Close by is the Cosquez group. though at a
somewhat greater elevation, covering an area
Of nearly 5000 acres. 1t is from these mines
that the Spaniards obtained many Of their
gems.
The Cuincha mines are about 6 miles east
southeast from the Muzo group.
The Somondoco or Chivor group consists OF
five separate mines, about 80 miles east north
east of Bogota. situated at an elevation Of $500
feet above sea level. At the time of the con-
quest, the group was being worked by the In.
dams, and the Spaniards continued the work,
but in the subsequent struggles their location,
as in the case Of the Cosquez group, was lost.
The Muzo mines were first made known to
the Spaniards through Capt. Juan Penagon.
and the first scientific examination made In
1884 BY Jose Antonio de vallegas y Avedano,
who rediscovered the large vein that had dis.
appeared and arranged for its exploitation,
Prior to this. however, Francisco Tobar Alya.
rado. worked the mines and presented the king
Of Spain with q necklace containing Is stones
valued at that time at 100000. Organised work
in the mines was carried on under control Of
the Spanish government until 1898. when they
were rented at public auction.
