Rare, multiple Red Beryl crystals, on Rhyolite matrix!

This very colorful, and attractive cabinet specimen features several well formed crystals of Red Beryl on a snowy white Rhyolite matrix. Although they are smaller in size, you can see in the pictures that the crystal quality is: quite sharp; very gemmy and transparent/translucent; full of luster with the classic gooseberry color!

Although I did see some Red Beryl specimens at the previous Denver & Tucson Shows, I did not see any such as this one, with multiple crystals on matrix. I acquired this piece several years ago.

The latest news on the Violet mine is that the lower pit which produced the better quality specimens (like the ones featured here on my site), is now defunct. Although the upper pit is still some what active, the quality does not compare to those previously mined from the lower pit. This makes good quality specimens much tougher to find.

Single Red Beryl Crystal on Rhyolite Matrix

SOLD

Rare, choice, multiple Red Beryl crystals on Rhyolite matrix!

This is the largest specimen of the world famous Red Beryl on Rhyolite matrix,
that I am offering for sale here!
It features two larger (1.0 + 1.3 cm. long!) Red Beryl crystals,
surrounded by several smaller ones,
elegantly perched on a bright white Rhyolite matrix.
There is some crazing throughout this crystal cluster, but no damage.
This is rather typical in Red Beryl crystals of this size.
Still, they display very good color, hexagonal terminations, and are gemmy!

Overall, this is a very visually striking larger piece!
You will not find many of these out there, priced so reasonably well!
Trimmed to display very well on its bottom side.
