Outstanding large, highly-sculptural group of gemmy, bright yellow, unrepaired (!) heliodor beryl crystals to an impressive 12+ cm. on white feldspar matrix from Padre Paraíso , Brazil. Very impressive for this noted locality, with fantastic aesthetics and good color and transparency as well. Comes with a custom acrylic display base by Sunnywood. Mark Cross photo.
