About this specimen
One slender emerald prism runs diagonally across the face of this small block, pale mint green against a white, coarsely crystalline matrix that reads like packed snow. The crystal is a flattened column roughly two centimetres long, its colour strongest through the middle and thinning toward each end; a second, shorter green blade breaks the surface near the top edge, and dark micaceous specks mark the base.
Emerald is the chromium- or vanadium-coloured variety of beryl, Be3Al2Si6O18, and it grows as hexagonal prisms in exactly this manner — locked into host rock rather than standing free in a pocket. A crystal left in its matrix tells you more than a loose one: you can read how it was fed and what grew around it. Hardness 7.5 to 8 makes the prism itself tough; the surrounding matrix is the fragile part.
3.3 × 3.0 × 2.8 cm and 40 g, seated on a clear acrylic cube with the green crystal facing forward. Every photograph on this listing was taken of the specimen you will receive.
