Beryl and Schorlite

Nagar, Pakistan - 12x5x6 cm

On a rather large matrix of orthoclase crystals, a group of Beryl elements with many thin inclusions of schorlite. Within the group, an imposing crystal up to 3.8 cm is vertically placed. The color is very pale, but the beryls exhibit very sharp edges and great terminations. No damage and very fine contrast with the multicoloured orthoclase. I shopped this cabinet at the Bologna Mineral Show in 2006, by Corrado Vietti.
