This cute miniature features a sharp, deep green, 13 x 10 x 10 mm crystal perched nicely in contrasting matrix! It is not of gem rough caliber, but DOES have a lot of transparency and brightness and is certainly a worthy specimen without breaking the bank. For a specimen emerald, the color is quite intense and the price very affordable!
