Discover the Replica of the Infinity Stone with a Colombian Emerald

The Marvel universe has gone beyond the screen to bring one of its most iconic objects to life: Thanos’ Infinity Gauntlet. Thanks to a collaboration between Marvel Studios and New York-based jeweler East Continental Gems (ECG), a luxury replica has been created featuring real gemstones, highlighting a 23-carat Colombian emerald as the Time Stone.

This masterpiece, unveiled at San Diego Comic-Con, is part of "The Infinity Collection of Gemstones" and is valued at approximately 25 million dollars. Each gem on the gauntlet represents an authentic precious stone, meticulously selected for its quality and symbolism.

In this article, we’ll tell you all about this project, its features, and where the gauntlet is currently located.

What is Thanos’ Gauntlet?

The Infinity Gauntlet is a fictional artifact from the Marvel universe, used by the villain Thanos to hold the six Infinity Stones. These stones grant the wearer unlimited power over time, space, reality, power, mind, and soul. In the Avengers films, Thanos uses the gauntlet to alter the balance of the universe.

Origin and Features with Real Gems

The real-life version of the gauntlet was crafted by East Continental Gems in collaboration with Marvel Studios and Gentle Giant Ltd. Each gem was selected for its authenticity and value:
- Time Stone: A 23-carat Colombian emerald, known for its deep green color and exceptional clarity.
- Space Stone: A 30-carat sapphire from western Madagascar.
- Reality Stone: A 15-carat ruby from Mozambique.
- Power Stone: A 35-carat amethyst, symbol of power and wealth.
- Mind Stone: A 35-carat yellow diamond, associated with humility and serenity.

Each stone was mounted on a gauntlet designed to faithfully replicate the one used by Thanos in the movies, blending art, jewelry, and pop culture into a unique piece. The complete gauntlet, set with all genuine gems, is valued at around 25 million dollars.

The Role of Colombian Emeralds in This Gauntlet

The inclusion of a Colombian emerald as the Time Stone highlights the importance and international recognition of these gems. Colombia accounts for between 70% and 90% of the world’s emerald production, known for their intense green color and superior quality.

Where Is the Gauntlet Now?

To date, the gauntlet has been showcased at special events and collector fairs, such as San Diego Comic-Con. Its public sale has not been announced, which adds to its mystique and desirability among fans and collectors.
