MIN#TUCSON2008-101 NEW!

LARGE CABINET!! Stunning plate of Green Beryl on Muscovite with reddish-purple Fluorite!
Take a look at the contrasting colors in the above photos! The green crystals of Beryl stand out
boldly against the darker purple octahedral Fluorites! Plates of this size and quality are few and
far between. I've seen only a few and this one ranks as one of the finest, It's also the only
plate I've seen which offers the Beryls in combination with Fluorite. Overall, the specimen
is in excellent condition with gemmy, glassy Beryls and only one small repair to a Fluorite.
From the Himalayan Beryl Belt, near the Hunza Valley, Afghanistan-Pakistan Border Region.
Measures 25 cm by 19 cm in total size with a 5.5 cm Green Beryl and 3 cm Fluorite.

CABINET Fluorite! Large crystals of octahedral Fluorite sitting atop thick books of Muscovite!

glow under lighting which is apparent in the photo above. No detractions or damage to speak of.
