Item Description
A sharp, dramatic and sculptural miniature chrysoberyl twin from this less well-known Espirito Santo State, Brazil locale. The well-formed, sharply terminated twins are glassy, gemmy/translucent and have variable olive-green to honey-yellow color. Complete all-around, the striking central crystal is doubly terminated, has nifty fluted faces and is pristine in the display view. The bit of periphery wear on the left side has minimal impact to the high quality of this piece from mid-1990s finds. RARE on the market in this size and quality. From an East Coast collection. Valued at $2000.
