Goshenite Beryl ex Schlichter coll.

Item Description

Colorless beryl, or goshenite, is actually rather uncommon compared to, say, aquamarine or morganite, particularly in prismatic crystals such as this. This Brazilian crystal is complete all around, well-terminated and gemmy. It has textbook hexagonal form, with one face having micro stepped-growth/etching. The crystal is transparent, but the internal crazing causes super reflectivity. It weighs 15 grams.
