Sharp Emerald crystal, completely transparent, bright and with a deep and uniform color. Its termination is more complex than usual, due to the presence of the dominant face of a pinacoid and the faces of two pyramids, one of them bevels the edge between the prism and the pinacoid and the other bevels the corners showing triangular forms. It is on a matrix with a rhombohedral crystal of Calcite.
The sample is from the J.S. White collection, whose label we’ll send to the buyer. A definitive specimen.
The photo of this Emerald was published in the magazine ‘Le Règne Minéral’ number 98, on its front cover and on page 43. Also in the book 'Émeraudes, tout un monde!'
