Description

To tell the truth: I don't know how to evaluate this red beryl. On the one hand, it's certainly not the best quality, a bit pale with rough, naturally etched(?) surfaces, on the other hand it seems undamaged and is the biggest I had in my hands so far, measuring more than one cm in visible length and one cm in diameter. Your choice ...

Of course, there is a lot of matrix, but you can trim that with a pocket knife.
