Beryl var. Emerald wih Quartz

Specimen ID: 4DK-7QT

Title
Beryl var. Emerald wih Quartz
Locality
As recorded:
Mina Amarillial, Cosquez, Municipio de Muzo, Boyacá, Colombia
Dimensions
54mm x 48mm x 26mm
Description
A two-sided specimen holding dozens of light to mid green Emerald crystals that are intermixed with Quartz crystals. Very unusual for a Colombian Emerald specimen, the usual association in Calcite. Prior to our finding this material the only Quartz matrix I have seen or know of for Emeralds is at Penas Blancas and it is very rare there. This little known cut near Coscuez has now produced a few of this rae combo. A choice and rare piece with many small, very clear Emeralds covering both sides of the matrix. With magnification the quality really stands out.
