Item Description
A lovely "mint"-green color, GEM quality, lustrous, beautifully etched crystal of Heliodor Beryl from the famous discovery in the Ukraine in the 1980s. This particular crystal has stunning glassy luster, and is WATER-CLEAR throughout. This locality is world renowned for these highly sought after and admired Heliodor specimens. The classic color, etching, and unique appearance make them a staple of any gem crystal collection. These specimens are rarely seen on the market today, and a crystal such as this with such excellent gemminess and color is certainly worthwhile. For the great form and etching patterns, it is definitely a respectable specimen of this celebrated material. Valued at $1200-$1500 retail.
