Description

The locality is famous for beryl - but most times you can get aquamarine; heliodor is even more exceptional - and the most important indicator: it is an etched crystal, which is still set on matrix - this is really out-standing! The crystal is gemmy, shows a very attractive texture and light yellow color.
