Item Description
A fabulous, diverging cluster of rare, heliodor (yellow beryl) with aquamarine-tipped crystals from a recent one-time find in the Erongo Mountains. Each of the gemmy and lustrous yellow-green crystals have good color, become gemmier toward their terminations and have a distinctive 2-4 mm zone of blue at their terminations. All of the primary crystals are pristine, with only the one basal crystal being contacted on the back. Very RARE material, amazing, and most unusual. A fascinating and striking beryl of unusual nature.
