This cute little thumbnail is perfect for a thumbnail collection - it's a great representative piece for the recent 2025 discovery at Nasarawa, too. It's not every day that a new combo specimen find takes place. These, in my opinion, are some that'll go down as one of the most interesting recent mineral finds.
This specimen features a great vanadium beryl crystal with a flat termination on one side, and an etched one on the other, locked tightly in the grip of a milky white quartz crystal. Unlike the emerald crystal, the quartz is only complete at the top.
There are a couple very small beryl crystals and quartz crystals peppered over various places on the main quartz point.
This one was one of my favorite pieces from over 50 that I got in my original wholesale buy, direct from the importer.
