Beautifull group of Emerald crystals on a black schist matrix. The main crystal has great clarity, although a bit veiled and a few minor flaws. The color is absolutely stunning, perfect emerald-green! Main xl is terminated, although termination is complex and covered by a thin layer of schist. It has smooth edges and surface is kinda frosted from the matrix which covered it. The three secondary xls have different degrees of clarity, from milky to clear..

4,5cm x 3cm x 1,8cm - main xl is 3,5cm x 1cm x 0,9cm
