Item Description
A seldom seen Beryl specimen from Tajikistan featuring a sharp, lustrous, hexagonal crystal measuring 2.1 cm, associated with beige colored feldspar and a few tiny thin Schorl Tourmaline crystals. The Beryl is a whitish-silvery hue, no true color that I can see. There is a piece on mindat that refers to this material as Caesium-Beryl (https://www.mindat.org/photo-369220.html), but I cannot say for certain if that's the case with this piece.
From the collection of Bill ("Burma Bill") Larson of Fallbrook, California. Bill is a well-known gem and mineral dealer (Pala International) as well as a miner and collector. Bill traveled the world for decades in search of fine gems and minerals, and was directly involved in the in-person acquisition and importation of superb specimens from many important gem-producing localities.
