Beryl var. Emerald Rye Patch District, Pershing Co., Nevada 2.65cm x 2.55cm x 2.03cm Ex. A. W. Pinner Collection Ex. A. E. Seaman Mineral Museum #AWP-2066

Description/Interesting Notes: An incredible, rare locality example of emerald from Nevada!!! I want to start out by saying that these digital pictures show the specimen as being somewhat bluish (a known problem with photographing emeralds), however, this specimen is GREEN in person, with absolutely no hint of aquamarine color!!! In person there is no question that this is an emerald!!! This specimen consists of a complex compound crystal of emerald with a small amount of matrix in association!!! This specimen has bright glassy luster, with sharp faces, and marked translucence!!! Upon close examination, the specimen appears to be partially terminated as well!!! The color is a light, but undeniable, emerald green!!! This is absolutely the best example of the species I have seen from Nevada!!! This is truly a magnificent, rare Nevada emerald!!! This old time specimen is from the collection of A.W. Pinner (one time head chemist at Franklin, NJ) and the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum!!! This specimen is way better than the pics show!!! Must be seen in person to be fully appreciated!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
