Item Description
Delicate, very sharp tabular colorless beryl crystal (goshenite) on Muscovite from old find sin Brazil. This lovely goshenite is 1.4 cm across and .3 cm thick, and grows on well-defined books of Muscovite. The beryl is perfectly gemmy, and quite attracitive. Its form is so sharp it looks carved. Overall, the aesthetics are terrific on this super little jewel. It should perhaps be trimmed to a thumbnail, now I look again...it would be a better thumbnail sized specimen for balance, even.
