Beryl var. Emerald on matrix

Item Description

Matrix Swat Valley emeralds are a thing of rarity, because they are simply rare, hard to get out, and found in a politically difficult area that obviously limits mining investment. They need to be mined and converted to cash quickly, so few specimens survive. This is an aesthetic and elegant miniature, featuring a beautiful deeply colored crystal perched atop matrix, just over 3 cm tip to tip. It is doubly terminated!!! Complete all around, a remarkable display specimen for the region. Valued $3500-plus. Comes with a custom base as well.
