Emerald Crystal on matrix - Height: 35 mm - Width: 38 mm- 56.7 g - (1)

Excellent specimen of emerald in a trimineral paragenetic association with calcite and pyrite. The hexagonal prismatic crystal of emerald dominates the composition, rising sculpturally and vertically from the matrix. The basal pinacoidal termination is of perfect morphological integrity, with its surface exhibiting micro-scaling growth features that give a distinctive texture to the face. The mineralogical value is enhanced by the unusual association of a possible micro-crystal of Parisite-(Ce) attached to a lateral prismatic face, highlighting the complexity of the Rare Earth element genesis in the deposit. An outstanding piece of compositional elegance and visual balance.
