This is an outstanding emerald specimen for this locality! The specimen consists of a rich dark green slightly translucent prismatic doubly terminated emerald crystal measuring 3.0 x 1.0 x 1.0 cm in size frozen upon a white calcite rich matrix. The crystal is undamaged and displays perfectly. There are a few cracks across the c-axis, but the crystal is very stable and rehealed nicely. There are no repairs on this. A superb piece. Size: 3.7 x 3.7 x 3.1 cm.
