Description

A very rare sample of beryl from this very uncommon locality. The crystal is sharp, it shows light blue color and good contrast to light matrix and very dark, partly free-standing muscovite. Although the crystal is not end-pointed, it represents a rare, unusual locality and should be high ranked for this rarity!
