Beryl - highly etched gem crystal
Hohenstein Massif, Omaruru District
Erongo Region, Namibia
8.8 x 2.6 x 2.2 CM (cabinet)
price: $1500
Pre Holiday 2017
A very odd, beautiful and choice gem Beryl that reminds of the famed Ukrainian Heliodor, yet this is an Erongo specimen. In fine condition, all sides of this crystal are stepped and etched with complex, faceted faces. Close to 100 percent facetable gem grade transparency and 44 grams of green to yellowish color, like a midpoint between Aquamarine and Heliodor. We recently (2017) obtained this in Namibia where it was the best and largest of a single pocket. So far there seems to be no more. Doubly terminated (crudely) and in our experience, unique.
