Item Description
This cluster of lustrous and gemmy, colorless beryllonite crystals to 2.8 cm in length is very sculptural. It is 3-dimensional on the front, but contacted smoothly on the back side where it grew against something (feldspar?) ...and so the back looks like an unusual single crystal face. Better in person! From a small pocket found in June of 2011, these are startlingly gemmy for the species which is often translucent but not so often transparent. valued $1000-1200
