Get ready for a unique gemstone that doesn't come to market that often. Presented here, ladies and gentlemen, is an untreated green beryl weighing a whopping 8.54 carats! And it's crystal clear! But hey, isn't emerald a green beryl? Yes and no. Emeralds are green, and they are a type of beryl, but they get their color from different minerals, namely chromium and/or vanadium. And their development usually leaves small natural fissures and specific inclusions. But green beryl gets its color primarily from trace amounts iron, leaving them clearer and giving them a much more stable structure so they tend not to have fissures in their crystal content. And every once in a while they do tend to look like bright emeralds, just like this one. Now, we can't say this is a bright emerald, but we certainly wouldn't say anything if you did... This large collectors grade gemstone exhibits a bright green hue with light to medium saturation and a vibrant color palette that stands out in a crowd. It measures an impressive 13.5mm x 11.2mm x 8.9mm, and has a well polished glistening luster. It has great symmetry, and as you can see from the video, full translucency with striking internal characteristics. Sourced from Brazil. Untreated!!!
