About this Product
This is a hand assembled, one-of-a-kind pair of Argentium® Silver Earrings Featuring A nice 8 x 7 mm pair of “Reverse Trapiche" Emeralds (the emerald and inclusions are in different positions than the normal trapiche).
Trapiche emeralds are exceptionally rare. They are named because their unique inclusion patterns which appear as spokes in a wheel, a trapiche is a type of grinding wheel used in South America. The "spokes" radiate out in the hexagonal shape of the crystals and are composed of a variety of minerals which may appear black or beige. Emeralds are already one of the rarest of precious stones, even rarer is this phenomenon in emeralds.
The trapiche emerald is perhaps one of the mineral kingdom's most powerfully symbolic crystal formation. It grows in a manner that highlights the shape of the hexad, which is a sacred symbol in many cultures and religions throughout the ages.
One of the ways humans have made sense of the world we inhabit is in recognizing patterns that suggest a certain underlying order and architecture to the manifested universe. Across many cultures and ages, this framework has been revealed in forms, particular shapes, proportions, and patterns being considered sacred signs of divine construction. One such shape is the hexad. Pythagoras is said to have called it, " form of forms, the articulation of the universe and the maker of the soul"; his followers believed it to represent Venus, perfection of parts, and the source of harmony. It is representative of the number 6, which is the symbol of creation, and representative of the physical universe's 6 directions of North, East, South, West, Height, and Depth.
