Description
Here we have a fine thumbnail sized Emerald specimen from Gravelotte in South Africa. Emerald specimens are uncommon and rarely available from this obscure Saouth African emerald mine. The lustrous, well formed crystals have mottled green colour and they are partly gemmy and transparent. While these crystals certainly are not as gemmy as good Colombian ones, note that this is an old South African Emerald specimen which is by far rarer. Ex Dr. Gerd Tremmel collection.
