Information about emeralds recovered from the Atocha Shipwreck:The Atocha set sail from Havana for Spain on September 4th 1622. The holds of the ship carried the wealth of an Empire, consisting of gold and emeralds from Colombia, silver from Peru and Mexico, and pearls from Venezuela. The Atocha's astonishing cargo consisted of 125 gold bars and discs, 24 tons of silver bullion, and several chests estimated to contain 60-70 pounds (135, 000-160, 000 carats) of emeralds most of which were from the famous Muzo mines of Colombia. Only about 6 pounds (13, 500 carats) of these emeralds were able to be recovered from the wreck site due to the disintegration of most of the chests which scattered the vast majority of the emeralds all over the ocean floor making emerald recovered from the Atocha among the rarest and most highly sought after shipwreck artifacts.
