Item Description

Beautiful, classic rich green gemmy emerald crystals are very attractively scattered on two faces of a RARE, remarkable, starkly contrasting, euhedral, crystallized calcite rhomb from the famous Chivor Mine of Colombia. The striking large isolated terminated emerald crystal on the top face is 1.3 cm long and the long prism in the frontal cluster is 1.0 cm long. Amazingly, the front and three of the four sides of the rhomb are pristine. The left rhomb face is partially cleaved and the back is a cleavage. This well-known emerald mine was "discovered" by Spanish conquistador in 1537. It was lost and rediscovered in 1896 (MINDAT). Fine emeralds are well-known from Chivor, but finding them on a large well-crystallized calcite rhomb is VERY RARE. Choice material from the R.D. Mushlitz Collection.
