Our procedure

First, we went to the museum, and we did some videos and took some photos with some helmets and a hammer.Then, we observed all the different types of emeralds in the mine tunnel replica. Next, we made an interview with the guide called: Andrea. Finally, we return to Sebastian's house and we did the power point presentation and the blog.


We chose this place because we think that the clombian emeralds are one of our best achievements. The 55% of the emeralds in the world  are the colombians one ¡You can beilieve it! Impressive!. And the colombian emeralds are better, they have a very beautiful and amazing color and, also it is an oppurtinity for having a job. Finally, the way the colombian emeralds born is very pure and unique.

 Our emerald adventure...

Museo internacional de la esmeralda

This museum was borned when a group of collectors decided to show their collections to the entire world.
They count with a unique collection of natural emeralds borned in the colombian ground. Preservated during 35 years with the purpose to be shown to the public to make conscience about the richness that our nation has in this gemstones.
This museum counts with a replica of a emerald tunnel of the mines located (mainly) in Muzo, Coscuez, and Chivor. The museum is located in the Avianca tower in the twenty-third floor.  

The museum has two type of emeralds: artistic ones and natural ones. The artistic ones are formed by an artist, because the emerald couldn't be well extracted from the "lutita" (name of the rock where the emeralds born) so, the artist makes a sculpture with a part of the "lutita" and the emerald, having as a result a amazing art piece.

The natural ones, are the emeralds that are extracted without having the need to transform them into sculptures.
