SOLD
A very gemmy, lustrous and exquisitely etched doubly-terminated yellow-green heliodor from the Walking Stick Mine, Zimbabwe. These beryls were mined in the late 1970's and some were horded by the owner, Bob Contat, a geologist over there. He passed away; his wife found them and sold them to the Sussmans in African in the late 1990s. Very, very uncommon. 25 grams.
