Description

One of the oddest specimens of the current auction is this pretty pseudomorph of turquoise after beryl. It comes as a blocky individual on a quartz rich matrix, very pale, giving the specimen an excellent color contrast.

A very unusual paragenesis, quite esthetic. An excellent specimen, coming in its original Perky box.
