Beryl (Var: Emerald), Quartz

Locality: Hiddenite, Alexander Co., North Carolina, USA

4.0 x 3.3 x 2.3 cm. This is a slender 1.1-cm-tall emerald crystal, incredibly gemmy (especially for this locality), glassy, and perched on quartz matrix. A classic. This came in a collection dating to about 1984 at latest, so it is from old finds here and not modern mining efforts.
