Description
A unique specimen of red beryl, the manganese rich variety of emerald, from the one and only location for large crystals in Utah. This was collected long ago by Rex Harris (1980s-1990s or early 2000s at latest), and has long since been in the collection of Marty Zinn of Colorado. Recently sold or exchanged out, dealer Cal Graeber obtained and prepped it, cleaning the crystals beautifully. This is one of the very, very few rich, matrix specimens containing more than a few isolated crystals at all. In fact, I have seen a few plates with larger crystals scattered about, and some few bigger specimens; but I cannot recall seeing such a rich cluster with this many crystals in one place - ever! The largest is 6 mm across, and most are 3-4 mm in size. Small, but together unique and impactful.

How this data is collected: Our system continuously monitors mineral listings from authorized dealer partners across the internet. We have explicit permission from all dealers whose listings we track - any dealers who have not provided specific and explicit authorization are NOT listed and NOT tracked by our system. When a previously available listing is marked as sold or removed from sale, we record this as a completed transaction. While we cannot guarantee the exact final sale price (as negotiations may occur), this data represents publicly listed prices for specimens that have transitioned from "for sale" to "sold" status. This provides valuable market insights based on observable listing behavior patterns.
