Gorgeous emeralds on mother rock! Two superb crystals are standing in upright position right in the center of a perfectly balanced calcite matrix. The colour is the deepest green one can look for and the composition of the specimen is just awesome. The calcite crystals feature a perfect balance of white and dark gray hues, giving additional contrast and depth. This is truly a top level emerald specimen of stunning aesthetics and perfection. The digital camera lens was not fully able to capture the deep green hue, it is even significantly better in person. A true masterpiece! Ex Jack Halpern collection.

Great quality and visual impact!
