Comments:
This specimen is really cool. It features a good sized quartz crystal that kind of looks like a vertical stack of multiple quartz crystals, with a great little single emerald crystal. This emerald crystal is richly saturated, and color zoned, with the bottom 80% being medium green, and the 20% at the termination being nearly colorless.
The crystal has pocket etching sporadically throughout, with some sections of crystal being left un-etched, and glassy.
Overall, this piece shows well from almost any angle, and has a lot of intricate detail. It's a great, representative piece from the new 2025 find.
