Emerald (6 crystal set)

Item Description

Beryl in and of itself is an amazing mineral, especially when considering the vast range of colors and environments in which it is found. When it comes to Emeralds, the standard lies with the unmatched specimens from the Cosquez Mine in Muzo, Colombia. Simply put, the finest color and quality Emeralds have been coming out of this area for centuries, and are still being found today. This world famous mine lies about 60 miles north of Bogota and has given collectors amazing display specimens, single crystals and faceted gems. This set features six light green color crystals not from any recent mining, but decades ago. They are sharp, lustrous hexagonal prisms and nearly water clear internally. The color is good considering the smaller size. From an old East Coast collection, and a great representation for crystals from around 50 years ago.
