Large Beryl xl (rare from Maine) ex Whitmore Coll.

Item Description

Large, sharp beryl crystals from this less well-known Oxford County pegmatite field feldspar quarry are RARE. This impressive, symmetrical, hexagonal crystal is pretty layered powder-blue with high luster and partial translucence. The Bumpus Quarry is noted for its large volume of massive rose quartz, and giant crystals of beryl found there - up to 11 meters long by 1.5 meter in diameter! This is an exceptional, large, complete all-around crystal, that is nearly pristine. Lower periphery wear is out-of-sight on the back side. A outstanding large and colorful Maine beryl from the Robert Whitmore Collection and collected in 1985. 696 grams or 1.5 pounds mass. Value?
