Item Description
Well-formed beryl crystals, such as this impressive, large crystal, are very uncommon and seldom available from the famous Palermo No. 1 Mine. The textbook hexagonal, pastel yellow-green, crystal has fine luster and is moderately translucent. Complete all-around. Both ends are contacted, but the rest of the piece is pristine. Certainly a minimal detraction to this important rarity from this classic locale. Ex Robert Whitmore Collection # 3860.
