TA96E4: Beryl (variety emerald) on Calcite

Very elegant with such transparent crystals. The main crystal is doubly terminated and has a good accompaniment of other smaller ones. They are all nicely positioned on the matrix of Calcite crystals. A clean specimen.
La Pita mining district, Municipio Maripí, Western Emerald Belt, Boyacá Department Colombia (11/2003)

DX99Q8: Beryl (variety emerald) on Calcite

Sharp Emerald crystal, completely transparent, bright and with a deep and uniform color. Its termination is more complex than usual, due to the presence of the dominant face of a pinacoid and the faces of two pyramids, one of them bevels the edge between the prism and the pinacoid and the other bevels the corners showing triangular forms. It is on a matrix with a rhombohedral crystal of Calcite.
The sample is from the J.S. White collection, whose label we’ll send to the buyer. A definitive specimen.
The photo of this Emerald was published in the magazine ‘Le Règne Minéral’ number 98, on its front cover and on page 43. Also in the book 'Émeraudes, tout un monde!'

JFD227AP9: Beryl (variety emerald) with Phlogopite

Of the great finds made in the 1980s in A Franqueira, I kept this piece of Beryl (emerald variety) for its color, with a lighter tone than what is usual there, also for its certain translucency and, obviously, for the fact that it was in its Phlogopite matrix.

JFD222AP8: Beryl (variety emerald) with Phlogopite

Of the finds from the 80s, made thanks to artisanal mining on the A Franqueira pegmatite, I kept these two robust crystals of Beryl (variety emerald), and I did so both for their size and for the peculiarity of the Phlogopite intrusion into the thick Beryl crystals. As the crystals are doubly terminated, we can easily see that the Phlogopite does not just 'coat' the Beryl crystals, but was formed simultaneously with them during the last growth phase. It seemed to me an interesting combination of spectacularity and geological interest and that is why I have kept it for so many years.
