Chrysoberyl (M1360)

€793.00

An old classic, these twined chrysoberyls are still considered by many to be the finest textbook crystals of the species. Cyclic twinning and a glassy and gemmy, yellow green color highlight this impressive, competition-quality specimen. The dimension is remarkable and complete also at the reverse. Old material probably 80 to 90 years old.
