This is a classic emerald specimen from the Ural Mountains, Russia, a region historically renowned for producing fine-quality emeralds. The piece exhibits a light minty-green to emerald green hue and is set in a sparkling, foliated mica schist matrix.
The specimen features one well-formed hexagonal emerald crystal, accompanied by several other prisms and less-defined crystals. This is undoubtedly an old-time piece, likely dating back to the Imperial Russia era, making it a fascinating historical and mineralogical specimen. It would display very well in a cabinet.
