Chrysoberyl (Gemmy)

Item Description

This is a true gem! Exhibiting the top color for the species, this small but high-quality crystal boasts a vibrant lemon yellow hue and exceptional luster. Despite its size, it is an outstanding example of crystal twinning, with the twinning plane clearly visible as the picture shows. The contrasting fractures enhance its gemmy appearance, making it even more striking. In my experience, this crystal is notably thicker than most others of its kind, and it could even be used as a gemstone in its own right. While more crystals were discovered after 2020, high-quality pieces like this one remain in high demand and are still difficult to find. Ex Jingnan (Tom) Zhang.
