Description

Beryl var. Emerald
Colombia
12.1 x 9.3 x 6.8 cm (4.8 x 3.7 x 2.7 in)

This is a very prolific specimen with several well-formed, prismatic Emerald crystals (reaching up to 3.3 centimeters) that radiate outward in multiple directions atop a pedestal of dark grey shale. Interspersed throughout the shale are contrasting fields of bright white Calcite, creating an ideal backdrop for the saturated, vibrant green of the Emeralds. Each crystal displays strong transparency beneath the surface and a rich internal glow. Scattered flecks, along with a couple larger crystals, of Pyrite accent the matrix, accenting the specimen with metallic glints of brassy yellow.
