Trapiche gems are an incredible variation of stones having a special allure that appeases the human desire for symmetry, exhibiting a distinctive star pattern from the stone’s inclusions. Not to be confused with star stones, trapiches are minerals that form with a radiating star of inclusions between growth sectors. Some form with a core or hub with spokes radiating outward from the core, while others form spokes from the center of the gem. The name Trapiche means cogwheels used in sugar mills in the Spanish language due to the similarity of the pattern with the spokes or arms of the grinding wheel.
