Emerald with Quartz crystals (Ref: 18.1-205)
Mina Amarillial, Cosquez, Municipio de Muzo, Boyacá, Colombia
42mm x 22mm x 19mm
minID: 4PV-DAJ
Light to mint green Beryl (Emerald) crystals make up most of this specimen with only a thin shard of matrix showing on one edge. Crystallized Beryla are on all sides, almost a floater. The Quartz prisms are sharp and clear contrasting with the Beryl. Crystallized quartz is rare in Colombian Emerald specimens, much more typical is Calcite or Dolomite. This is from a little known spot in the famed Boyaca region. In Colombia only 2 or 3 mines have ever produced Quartz crystals intergrown with Emerald. There are some chipped or contacted crystals but also many perfect, sharp Hexagons with good transparency and luster. From: Well-Arranged Molecules
