Beryl (Var: Emerald) : Be3(Al,Cr)2Si6O18

Dayakou, Nanwenhe complex, Malipo Co., Wenshan Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China

6.7 x 1.1 x .9 cm, 5.0 x 0.7 x 0.5 cm. No, these are not exactly cutter Columbians, but they are extremely interesting in that they are Chinese! They are actually a bit translucent, with bright green color, and sharp hexagonal form. As with virtually all of these, they are contacted and unterminated, but these are fine for what they are.

5.4 x 5.4 x 4.6 cm. A 4.1 cm, euhedral, pleasing green emerald crystal is frozen in massive quartz matrix in this fine specimen from recent finds in China.
