Updated 4/17/2008 with NEW Beryl Specimens!

MISSING SPECIMEN!!

This specimen was stolen at the Tucson Mineral Show in 2007.
(If anyone sees this Pezzottaite, please let know. There is a reward!)

Exceptional specimen featuring a huge Pezzottaite crystal!
Smaller Pezzottaite crystals appear to the center right and lower right making
this quite the impressive cluster! The main crystal is very glassy and gemmy
with a deep reddish-pink color. It measures 2 cm in size from top to bottom!
From Ambatovita, south of Mandrosonoro, Madagascar.
Measures 2.6 cm by 2.1 cm on matrix.
Price $4750

Gorgeous, doubly terminated crystal of Red Beryl on Rhyolite!
This crystal has plenty of gem and measures 2 cm in length. It sits perfectly atop the
Rhyolite matrix with two complete terminations. If you look closely with a loupe, you
will see only the tiniest of bumps on the left side of the crystal but these do not detract
or take away from the large Beryl. I only mention them for accuracy of description.
From the Violet Claims, Wah Wah Mountains, Beaver County, Utah.
Measures 3.7 cm by 4.7 cm in size.
Price $7500

Beautiful combination of Aquamarine with pink Apatite!
These combinations are so rare and I purchase every specimen I can get my hands on!
This specimen features perfectly terminated, blue crystals of Aquamarine in cluster
with a gemmy to translucent hot pink Apatite perched on the right side. The blades of
Muscovite on the bottom and front side frame the specimen without overpowering it.

GORGEOUS!! Gemmy green Beryl var. Emerald crystal sitting atop dark Calcite crystals!
Emeralds with deep color are always in demand but Emeralds with deep color on dark Calcite
are the cream of the crop! This Emerald crystal measures 1.7 cm with a perfect termination!

GEMMY! Glowing crystal of Heliodor on Cleavelandite matrix!
The crystal is terminated with a very light etching (much less than normal for a Brazilian
specimen) and a gemmy interior. I don't see many matrix Heliodors so this was a nice find!
From Conselheira Pena, Minas Gerais, Brazil.
Measures 5.2 cm by 3.6 cm in size.

Cute! Multiple crystals of gemmy Beryl var. Emerald on matrix!
True, the specimen is small but it makes up for this with lots of pizzazz and
vibrant color! It has some crystal size too with the largest of the three upright
Emeralds measuring right at 1 cm in size. Smaller Emeralds can be seen
on the lower left size of the matrix and behind the top crystal cluster.
The crystals and all terminations are pristine and lustrous!

EXCEPTIONAL!! Museum quality specimen featuring a gorgeous deep pink Morganite crystal
set against a background of Albite and Quartz points! Also with green Tourmaline, I would rate
this large cabinet piece as the second best Morganite specimen I've offered on the website.
The 7 cm Morganite crystal is incredibly gemmy with Albite accents. The white blades set
against the vibrant pink surfaces create one of the more beautiful contrasts I've seen in a
Beryl specimen. The Quartz crystals are included with white sprays and enhibit glassy faces!

EXCEPTIONAL!! Doubly terminated, gemmy crystal of Beryl var. Emerald!
This crystal is Vanadium colored and exhibits a gorgeous internal glow and almost metallic
luster on every glassy face. Both terminations are complete with tiny crystal accents of
Quartz and Muscovite! The color is quite good with lighter green portions at top changing to
a deeper green about 1/3 the way down. One of the better Emeralds I've seen from Nigeria!
From the Nandu Mine, Nandu village, Kaduna State, Nigeria.
Measures 6.6 cm by 1.2 cm in size.

Attractive mix of Morganite with Tourmaline on Albite, Quartz, and Lepidolite!
The Morganite crystal is nearly perfect in shape, color, and positioning on the
matrix. One of the better specimens I've seen from San Diego County. The
Rubellite Tourmalines have great color but are unfortunately incomplete
(except for a small crystal at the base of the Morganite) and serve only as
backing for the Beryl. The Quartz point at top is crude in form but recognizable.
From the Stewart Mine, Pala, San Diego County, California.

MIN#B-9 NEW!

Gorgeous Beryl var. Aquamarine with Muscovite blades!
This specimen is a stunner with super glassy faces and a blue, gemmy interior!
The crystals literally "step" their way up towards the main termination at top,
giving the specimen a structured appearance that is both impressive and visually
aesthetic! Every termination is complete and smooth with modifications. The top
termination has a small area of lines on the very backside where Muscovite blades
were plucked away but this is not damage and does not detract from the specimen.
From Nagar, Hunza Valley, Northern Pakistan.
Measures 11.3 cm by 9 cm by 9 cm in size.
Comes with a custom made, labeled stand.

MIN#B-11 NEW!

Gorgeous Beryl var. Emerald crystals in Schist matrix!
These crystals display intense Emerald coloration with excellent gemminess
for a Pakistan specimen. Holding the crystals up to a light shows the glassy
interiors which could easily be cut into gemstones. Both crystals are also terminated
with complex terminations, the top crystal completing its growth into Schistic matrix.
A Colombian specimen of this quality would sell for many times the price!

Wow! Stunning bi-color Aqua-Morganite crystals!
I can't recall seeing a deeper colored Aqua-Morganite in the elongated hexagonal
crystal habit! Both crystals (large and small) are doubly terminated with gemmy,
cats-eye like Aqua blue tips and pastel pink, translucent Morganite interiors. The
backside of the crystal grew against white Albite matrix which is still in place. I've
offered elongated bi-color Beryls before but nothing of this size and color intensity.

MUSEUM QUALITY! Large cabinet specimen of Beryl var. Aquamarines on huge Muscovite books!
Also with Albite, this incredible work of nature measures 18.8 cm by 35.5 cm by 19.5 cm in total size!
The bluish-green Aquamarine crystal at center measures 8 cm by 8 cm with nearly 6 cm of depth!
The side Aquamarine measures 5.5 cm in size and the Muscovite books are of equal or larger size.
This is by far the most impressive Aquamarine plate I've seen from Govenador Valadares and it would
easily be the centerpiece of any fine collection. It comes with the above custom display stand and label.

Fine crystal of Beryl var. Morganite surrounded by Cleavelandite blades!
There's a cluster of dark green Tourmaline crystals behind the Morganite and
a few more small ones scattered among the blades for accent. Very aesthetic.
The pink Morganite is doubly terminated too! Smoky Quartz is present on the back.

Gemmy, blue cluster of near flawless Beryl var. Aquamarine crystals with Muscovite!
This was one of my better finds at the Dallas Mineral Show! The cluster boasts full terminations
with excellent color and flash. The transparency of the crystals speaks for itself in the above photo.

Stunning combination of Beryl var. Aquamarine with a large shiny Schorl Tourmaline!
Both are accenting by a bit of white Albite at the base and right termination of the Schorl.
The first thing that catches one's eye is the stark contract between the blue Aqua crystal
and the glossy black Schorl surfaces. The Aqua measures 6 cm from base to top and the
doubly terminated Schorl measures 8.8 cm from termination to termination. Overall, the
specimen measures 7.5 cm by 9 cm in size. From the Erongo Mountains in Namibia.

Beautiful specimen of gemmy-tipped Red Beryl on Rhyolite matrix!
This 1.5 cm crystal is perfectly terminated with excellent color and gemminess
near the top. There are the normal inclusions of Rhyolite near the base where the crystal
terminates into the matrix. Matrix specimens of Bixbite have become very difficult to find!

INCREDIBLE display specimen! Here you have a rehealed Smoky Quartz shard set across
the backside of a gorgeous greenish-blue Aquamarine crystal with a dramatic Smoky point
spray perched atop the Beryl! The Aquamarine is fat, measuring over 6 cm in width, with a
glassy termination and rehealed bottom. Both the Smoky and Aqua are accented by lustrous
crystals of Schorl Tourmaline. As for the killer Smoky Quartz spray, four of the terminations
are flawless and one termination to the far left (the smallest point) is incomplete since it
terminated into matrix. This is truely Nature's artwork at its best and most interesting.

EXCEPTIONAL!! Gorgeous combination of Aquamarine with a large pink Apatite!
The Apatite crystal is complete and undamaged with one irregular face on the backside
which was influenced by small Aquamarine crystals growing atop the crystal face. The color is
very good and the faces very lustrous and glassy. The Apatite itself measures 3.3 cm in size!
Surrounding the Apatite at the base are gemmy Aquamarine crystals and a bit of Muscovite.

WOW! A large doubly terminated Aquamarine crystal sitting atop Muscovite!
I think the photo speaks for itself but here are the particulars on this stunning
specimen. The Aquamarine is a deep hazy sky blue with super glassy surfaces
and perfect terminations at both ends. It measures 6.7 cm in length with two
smaller crystals attached to the backside which bring the total length to 7.5 cm.
The matrix ranges from large Muscovite on the backside to smaller, finer blades
of Muscovite on the front. Actually, the specimen could be displayed from either
side but this is the presentation that I prefer. I might also point out that the tips of
the Aqua are crystal-clear gem and can be seen through all the way to the matrix.

"The Brazilian Setting Sun"
A gorgeous, museum quality Beryl var. Morganite crystal sitting atop white Cleavelandite with Schorl!
This is the finest Brazilian Morganite I have ever seen perched on matrix! The crystal is absolute perfection,
measuring 8.5 cm in size! I liken this beautiful specimen to a sunset behind snow covered mountain peaks.
With its matrix of Cleavelandite and Shorl accenting, the specimen measures 15 cm by 12.5 cm in size.

Large crystal of Beryl var. Aquamarine with smaller Aqua crystals and Muscovite at top!
The largest crystal is a whopper at 7.5 cm by 6 cm in width! A smaller 3 cm crystal sits
horizontally across the top termination and a family of even smaller Aqua crystals point
upwards above that one. I might point out that the bottom termination of the large crystal
is stepped! It almost appears that the crystal terminated around another Aquamarine but
the faces are smooth and unaltered. Still, I can't think of another explanation for the extra
crystal growth at bottom near the side edges. A very interesting and unique feature for sure!
Measures 11 cm by 9 cm in total size. From Nagar, Hunza Valley, Northern Areas of Pakistan.
The faces are glassy and reflective and the color is a much richer blue than your average Aqua.
Comes with a custom made, labeled base.

Fine crystal of DT'ed Beryl var. Aquamarine with Albite!
This beautiful specimen exhibits a misty-blue, almost cat's-eye appearance in the
center portions and caps off with a crystal clear termination. Upon closer inspection,
it appears that a smaller, translucent Aquamarine crystal was overgrown by a larger,
more transparent crystal creating one heck of a phantom in the middle and at the top!
From Darra-i-Pech, Nangarhar Province, Afghanistan.
