Item Description

Some of the most classic Chyrsoberyl specimens in the world are those from Espirito Santo in the southeastern end of Brazil. This miniature, with fine, yellow-green color, excellent luster, and good gemminess, has the most recognized and celebrated habit for Chrysoberyl - the "sixling" twin. This deposit only produced from 1939-1941, so this 15 g crystal is a rare, and highly sought-after, specimen. It is a "Classic," with good aesthetics and a habit (partially complete, not a full 360 degrees) right out of the old books. Rare on the market, this is valued at $1000
