Item Description
Chrysoberyl is a species that is well known to collectors, but good specimens are only known from a handful of localities in the world. Typically, specimens from Brazil were the only good representation of Chrysoberyl on the market, unless one was lucky enough to obtain a fine Alexandrite from the Urals of Russia. This piece is from an exciting and limited discovery in Madagascar (early 2013). It shows a lovely rich yellow-green color along with sharp, lustrous, well-formed faces and a bit of gemminess on the edges. The piece is actually twinned showing a tight "sixling" (or more properly "trilling") group. The habit and size of the piece is typical from the locality, and certainly worthwhile for any thumbnail collector to pick up as these specimens are hard to come by on the market. Enjoy.
