Item Description

This locality dates back to 1894 and is certainly one of the more noteworthy Beryl producers on the east coast. This piece features a 5.1 cm yellow color Heliodor crystal with sharp faces, moderate luster, and good hexagonal form. The crystal isn't terminated but few are from the Crabtree Mine in my experience. The crystal is sitting on Quartz and Feldpsar matrix.
