Description

Interesting example of a pale greenish-blueish beryl with iron staining allegedly from Siberia. The specimen comes with an old label from an english speaking collector (R. Damon?) and describes it as emerald from Siberia. There must have been some other small specimens of mexican emerald with this one but they are obviously no longer present. I cannot vouch for the locality but certainly a nice old timer from the late 19th century.
