A very nice group of deep-green Emerald crystals on white calcite crystals from the Muzo Mine, Vasquez Yacopi Mining District, Boyaca Department, Colombia. Good matrix emerald specimens from Colombia area not common, and this specimen features a ~2 x .5 cm cluster of well-formed gemmy saturated green crystals perched on white calcite crystals. Classic!
