Beryl (Var. Red Beryl)

Red beryl is among the most desirable and rare gemstones from the Western United States. This specimen features a sharp, doubly-terminated 6 mm red beryl crystal with great colour, displaying the classic "gooseberry" hue, and flashes of gemminess, attractively perched on rhyolite matrix. Red beryl from this famous locale is increasingly scarce, with little to no recent production, making this piece all the more special. Complete, sharp, and highly aesthetic, this thumbnail displays beautifully from either side.
