Oldtimer canary yellow chrysoberyl specimen on the typical metamorphic matrix. Very lustrous and embedded in the matrix, it is associated to blood red garnet (pyrope?) in good shape. Associated, also some silvery muscovite.

Very old and classic European material, it comes with an insane pedigree: ex Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences & Russell (UK)!!

Quite hard material to get ahold of.
