Chrysoberyl (twin) (ex Matioli)

Item Description

Some of the most classic Chyrsoberyl specimens in the world are those from Espirito Santo in the southeastern end of Brazil. These specimens exhibit some of the most recognized and celebrated twins for Chrysoberyl extant. This piece has a beautiful golden-brown color with the classic "heart-shaped" twinning and good gemminess when backlit. A great old Brazilian classic. A fine gemmy little thumbnail for which most collectors do not have a good representation in their collections. Ex Paolo Matioli Collection.
