Description:
A few years ago while doing some road works, a small deposit of emeralds was discovered in Spain, in the province of Pontevedra (Galicia). The specimens never obtained the quality needed to be cut, but they soon became famous amongst collectors throughout the world and are still very much sought after, even though the deposit is now exhausted.
