The Butterfly Effect: Butterflies and the Colombian Emerald Industry
The most beautiful emeralds in the world are born in a magic corner of the world, as are the most amazing butterflies! The Butterfly of Muzo features a unique combination of color, reflection and beauty that inspires the best Colombian emerald with the Butterfly Effect! Today we are developing a special program to help preserve over 300 species of butterflies in the region; it brings hope in the middle of a climate crisis and strengthens the commitment of the gemstone industry to our communities and the environment.
