Beryl with Ilmenite inclusions

Item Description

This material is relatively new from what I gather, and we were only able to buy a couple of these stones a few months ago in Munich. This stone features somewhat dendritic and "needle"-esque particles of the iron titanium oxide, Ilmenite (somewhat similar to Hematite) which are included inside of nearly flawless gem quality Beryl The stone has a "Freeform" cut, and I've truly never seen anything like this before. I haven't encountered much of this material, and I think it's extremely attractive. The Ilmenite was analyzed and identified by Jaroslav Hyrsl.
