Description

The crystal is 47mm across, it shows a crazy good saturation of emerald green color with some yellow zonings in the center - depending on angle the light goes through the crystal you see more or less of these yellow flashes. The crystal is set on a thin base of yellow Muscovite, and atop it also wears a cap of this yellow Muscovite. The reverse was on Quartz where it came down during genesis and developed a sharp, glossy, healed face. There are also no repairs or fills and all faces show fine luster.
