LARGE CABINET!! Stunning plate of Green Beryl on Muscovite with reddish-purple Fluorite!
Take a look at the contrasting colors in the above photos! The green crystals of Beryl stand out
boldly against the darker purple octahedral Fluorites! Plates of this size and quality are few and
far between. I've seen only a few and this one ranks as one of the finest, It's also the only
plate I've seen which offers the Beryls in combination with Fluorite. Overall, the specimen
is in excellent condition with gemmy, glassy Beryls and only one small repair to a Fluorite.

Killer combo featuring a gemmy dark green Emerald with a translucent Parisite on Calcite!
Parisite is a rare earth carbonate mineral that sometimes appears with Emeralds in Colombia
but to my knowledge, only the La Pita Mine features gem quality Colombian Parisite. This
is the first miniature I've seen that has both the Emerald and Parisite side by side so I
consider it to be somewhat unique. The Emerald has that deep, dark green color that
the La Pita Mine is famous for and the Parisite can be best described as having a dark
amber color with resinous surfaces. It has complete faces on the viewing side with
partial faces on the underneath side where it terminated against Calcite, creating a
rougher appearance. I think this would be a must specimen for any Emerald collector.
From the La Pita Mine, Boyaca Department, Colombia.
Measures 2.8 cm by 5 cm in total size.
Price $3500

MIN#B-36 NEW!

MIN#B-37 NEW!

Classic specimen of terminated Green Beryl attached to a larger Green Beryl!
The larger Beryl is a shard but the upright Beryl is actually doubly terminated!
The top termination is textbook and the bottom termination is partially there
but didn't grow to completion due to matrix interference. This crystal is also
translucent when held to light. A very good representation of a Maine Pegmatite!
From Bennett's Farm, Orchard Quarry, Maine.
Measures 4.7 cm by 3.8 cm in size.
Price $485

LARGE crystals of Beryl var. Emerald on Schistic matrix!
The size of these Emerald crystals is very impressive considering that
the specimen is from Gamitha, Laghman Province, Afghanistan and
not Russia as I first thought. Both crystals are fully terminated with
flat terminations (and some Schist inclusions) and have better than
average color and good translucency. Measures 6.2 cm by 4.6 cm
in size with  2.6 cm and 2.5 cm Emeralds. Very aesthetic miniature!

MIN#B-43 SOLD!

AMAZING RARITY!! Gemmy blue Aquamarine crystal hugged by a colorless Goshenite!
Both Beryls are perched atop Albite matrix! I can't recall seeing another specimen with such
distinct varieties of Beryl in close proximity. The Goshenite Beryl is literally wrapped around the
backside of the Aquamarine! Both xls are perfectly terminated and complete with glassy faces.
How could such a specimen form? My guess is that the coloring element for the Aquamarine (Iron)
must have disappeared from the environment when the Goshenite began to grow. In other
words, the Goshenite crystal was late to the process and got short changed and left colorless.
From Minas Gerais, Southeast Region of Brazil.
Measures 6.3 cm by 6 cm by 3.6 cm.
Price $7500
