SOLD
This 1300-gram (!!) hunk of etched aqua is not so ugly in person, I assure you. It is a REALLY important and unusual large beryl crystal for the County, with its entire upper surface dramatically etched over time into a sort of fantasyscape. It is very similar in this regard to some recent Brazilian material, but this was collected by Roland Reed in May of 1994 near his Elizabeth R Mine. It is to my knowledge a unique specimen and given the size and weight is really quite impressive in person.
