Now veteran e-Rocks seller Ikram Muhammad of Pakistan Minerals celebrates his birthday today.
Marking the occasion is the finale of his birthday auction, featuring this cracking specimen of beryl var vorobyevite from Afghanistan.
Vorobyevite is a recently discovered caesium rich beryl characterised by deep blue, sometimes zoned or frilled flat hexagonal crystals.
Previously quite often passed off as apatite - get checking those collection drawers!
