Item Description

Goshenite or colorless beryls are actually more uncommon than their highly favored blue, green, red or yellow brothers. A textbook, 3.0 x 1.3 cm, tabular, hexagonal, gemmy and lustrous, transparent to translucent, goshenite is aesthetically set atop a CABINET mounded scultpural matrix of pearlescent, silvery yellow-green, muscovite plates. A 3.2 cm, water-clear, gem quartz crystal at the base in the front is a super accent. Barely noticeable edgewear is noted on the beryl. This classic, excellent and uncommon large combination specimen is from an unknown pegmatite in Minas Gerais. It comes with a cutom-made and engraved lucite base for free.
