Gem Heliodor (irradiated) Elling Coll.

Item Description

Most of this striking, sharply terminated, parallel-growth pair of rich yellow gem beryl crystals is water-clear. The basal area has some interior clouds. Complete all-around and pristine. Two contacts are noted on the sides, where other crystals once lay, but there is no damage, per se. This particular style/color from here is now generally accepted (by me at least) to be faked (irradiated aquamarine) and from Pakistan. For more info, See: http://www.mindat.org/loc-5384.html. Exceptional for what it is, and very pretty as a crystal. 50.30 carats or 10 grams mass. Ex George Elling Collection.
