Description

One of the most underappreciated discoveries of the last years. This is beryl - the yellow variety; heliodor. And it is in gem-quality. The crystal is lustrous and sharp all around and barely flawless. The helix inside makes it look even more attractive and the red layer at the end-point gives a really nice contrast to this fine single crystal.
