An excellent and showy cluster of gemmy emerald crystals with good color intensity and nicely accented by calcite from the famed Coscuez Mine of Colombia. The primary, crowning emerald crystals are pristine. You barely notice that two of the lesser crystals have broken terminations. Overall, wha tyou see is COLOR and luster - a really pretty little guy that is a stunning emerald without breakin gth ebank, and not your usual boring thumbnail single, either 2.6 x 2.3 x 1.7 cm
