Description:Colorless beryl, or goshenite, is actually rather uncommon compared to, say, aquamarine or morganite, particularly in prismatic crystals such as this. This aesthetic, smokestack-like cluster of glassy, hexagonal crystals has a light pastel-blue core surrrounded by colorless goshenite. The crackly interiors and included schorl needles really add character. The cluster is complete all-around and nearly pristine, with only a trivial bit of bruising to a few of the sidecar crystals. This rare and fine piece displays well from either side. Ex Charlie Key dealer stock.
