Jade is the only gem I appreciate more
JWL14A-35
Beryl var. Emerald
$7,500.00
Rist Mine, Hiddenite, Alexander Co., North Carolina, USA
Miniature, 3.5 x 1.7 x 1.4 cm
A gemmy, lustrous, hard to find Emerald crystal from the Rist Mine
of North Carolina. The upper portion of the crystal is quite gemmy, with
the lower portion being translucent to gemmy. The termination is
mirror-like and glassy. The crystal contains embedded blades of
Muscovite under one face and not far from the termination, which is not
unusual for this locality and helps to prove it is from here, as well. A
classic and excellent older North Carolina emerald! Weighs 19 grams (95
carats)
