Description

Incredible single crystal of chrysoberyl from Brazil. The formation which reminds of a V shows super intense amber-orange to brownish colour in the center with a good transparency. Upwards the tips the colour of the specimen fades into an intense golden-yellow colour with perfect terminations. Also the size of the crystals is exceptional with 4 cm. They exhibit a fantastic lustre which makes this piece even more desirable.
