WOW!
This vanadium beryl / emerald is double terminated, etched, gemmy, and a rich green color. ALL while being perched on a quartz crystal cluster which is no slouch either.
There's a little tabby quartz crystal perched at the bottom, too. You can look at it from any angle, and see the wonderful work nature has done here.
There's one broken spot at the bottom, where the specimen wants to sit, so it will look complete while on display.
This piece has great aesthetics, and wonderful contrast. It was one of my top favorites out of a lot of 65+ pieces I just purchased.
This one will sit proud in someone's miniature or thumbnail specimen collection.
