RAPAPORT... An 887-carat rough emerald will come under the hammer in New
York in April.
Named “La Gloria,” the gem is one of the largest
museum-quality emeralds in the world, according to Guernsey’s, which will
auction the piece.
The stone originated in the Muzo mines of Colombia and was
collected by Manuel Marcial de Gomar, a veteran of the gemstone business and
founder of Emeralds International.
Several rough and cut emeralds that De Gomar has gathered will
also be up for bids, including the Marcial de Gomar Star, which Guernsey’s has
described as the largest recorded star emerald and one of only 11 in the world.
The auction will take place on April 25 at the Americas
Society, 680 Park Avenue, as well as online.
