Item Description
Goshenite, the colorless variety of Beryl, is actually quite a bit more rare than the blue variety (Aquamarine). This piece hosts a few sharp, tabular, hexagonal colorless crystals measuring up to 2.1 cm. They have GLASSY luster, and are gemmier in person than the pics make them appear. These crystals sit attractively on a bed of bladed Muscovite with minor blocky white Albite - a truly striking and impressive specimen for this lesser-seen Beryl variety.
