Description from the seller
Gemmy Heliodor Crystal - 6.4 g - Padre Paraíso, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Description:
Mineral Specimen: Natural Beryl (Heliodor)
Origin: Padre Paraíso, Minas Gerais, Brazil
Weight: 6.4 grams (8.56 including acrylic display base)
Dimensions: 26 x 12 x 9.8 mm
Professional Overview:
A high-quality collector's specimen from the renowned Padre Paraíso district in Brazil. This Heliodor crystal exhibits a vibrant golden-yellow color with a high degree of transparency ("gem-quality").
Key Features:
Perfect Termination: This is a fully natural etched terminated crystal. The terminal pinacoid and prism faces are pristine.
Internal Clarity: The crystal is remarkably transparent. It contains delicate, aesthetic internal 'rain' inclusions (hollow tubes) characteristic of Brazilian beryls, proving its 100% natural origin without any heat treatment.
Luster: Exceptional glassy luster that makes the crystal "glow" under direct lighting. The edges are sharp and well-defined.
Form: Excellent vertical striations on the prism faces, showing a classic and well-defined hexagonal growth.
This 2.6 cm specimen is ideal for high-end mineral collections or as investment-grade "facet rough" for gemstone cutters due to its high clarity. A beautiful representation of Brazilian golden beryl.
