Item Description

Rich green color saturation highlights this impressive, sharp, translucent, doubly terminated, textbook hexagonal emerald crystal from probably the world's largest emerald deposit. This very fine, fairly large crystal has good luster and is pristine. A bit of quartz is attached to one termination. While these crystals certainly are not as gemmy as good Colombian ones, note that this is an old Brazilian emerald specimen - far rarer. Very rare on the market in this quality. 20 grams mass. Valued at $1000.
