Description/Interesting Notes:
A classic example of emerald from Russia!!! This specimen hosts a rich grouping of complexly intergrown crystals of
rich green emerald in association with massive calcite and biotite schist!!! As a the result
of close contact with the biotite schist, the complexly intergrown crystals exhibit this
unusual, rounded appearance!!! In person, the crystals have a unique sparkle that is the result of numerous minute yet
lustrous faces oriented in all different directions!!! The crystals have impressive translucent clarity and handsome green color -
this specimen is quite striking in person!!! This specimen is in fantastic condition and way better than the pics show!!!
The pics hardly do it justice!!! 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!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY AUGUST 9th!!!
