Description

Rare emeralds in albitite matrix from the classic Italian locality Pizzo Marcio. A couple of crystals covered by silvery muscovite, and could be potentially cleaned further. A lovely combo, fairly rich for the locality and specie. 

Definitely a nice specimen from the area, and in my opinion well above average. 
Recently acquired from an Italian collector, it certainly dates back to a couple of decades ago.
